Arsenal Transfer News: Arsenal, a powerhouse in England’s Premier League, apparently has its sights set on Real Valladolid right-back Ivan Fresneda.
Arsenal Transfer News: In his Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano claims that Arsenal have been keeping tabs on Real Valladolid right back Ivan Fresneda. The Gunners want to add a new right-back to their roster this summer. Fresneda is specifically listed as an option.
Romano said, “Despite reports to the contrary, at the moment I’m not aware of any negotiation between Arsenal and Inter for Dumfries. They are exploring right back options and Ivan Fresneda remains appreciated, they are sending scouts regularly to follow him, but Dumfries has completely different value for Inter and at the moment his situation is still quiet.”
There have been rumors that Arsenal are interested in signing Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan. But according to Romano, everything is still calm and he hasn’t heard anything about any discussions regarding the player. The 18-year-old is the center of attention for the Gunners, who have sent scouts to see him in action for Real Valladolid.
Arsenal Transfer News: What’s the matter?
Throughout his childhood, Fresneda was a member of the Real Madrid youth program. However, his expectations were not met at La Fabrica. After his entry in Real Valladolid’s youth program in 2020, he is now a member of the first team. Since then, he has only become better and better.
The 18-year-old has quickly risen through the ranks and become an integral part of the team’s success. During the current season, he will be playing with Valladolid’s first team. And he’s already shown himself worthy of playing in Spain’s top division after just six months.
Thus far this season, he has played in 12 games, accumulating over 800 minutes in his debut season at the highest level. The Real Valladolid defenseman will likely play an even more significant part in the second half of the season. Others around him have taken note of Fresneda’s remarkable play. A number of teams, including Arsenal, are vying for the teen’s services.

What’s next for Ivan Fresneda?
For the next season, Mikel Arteta is actively seeking a right back to add to his roster. He’s certain that his side can qualify for the UEFA Champions League again after a seven-year absence. Therefore he wants to add players to the roster and the bench. When it comes to Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, Arteta is hoping for an improvement.

They have both contributed well to the Gunners and are expected to remain in their current roles. Nonetheless, the final third of the field is somewhat thin. Arteta is looking to bring in a youthful, fast, and versatile fullback. This explains why he’s so keen on bringing in Ivan Fresneda: he’s a proven winner.
But Arsenal aren’t the only team considering him. In order to recruit the 18-year-old, they will have to compete with Juventus and Manchester United. The teen’s transfer decision should be a lively contest.
