Arsenal and their love for Iván Fresneda is one of the worst kept secrets in world football, with the Gunners going lead and bounds to securing his signatures in the January transfer window – although nothing materialised then and we are heading to an open summer with multiple top clubs interested to sign the Iván Fresneda.
Alongside Arsenal, the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Juventus were gunning to sign Iván Fresneda. Although as per recent reports by Gazzetta dello Sport – Juventus are said to be out of running to sign him from Valladolid. This is because of how much money they would have to spend on Fresneda, and they have instead turned their focus to Emil Holm, the starting right-back for Spezia right now.
The Spanish player is ‘in the sights of Arsenal,’ while the Swede ‘intrigues’ Juventus and ‘has lesser prices’ – writes Gazzetta dello Sport via Sportwitness.
With Arsenal’s greater financial resources, it seems likely that they will be able to grant the player’s wish to leave Valladolid in a “historic sale,” as his agency put it shortly after the transfer market closed. The La Liga team’s 18-year-old prodigy became an overnight phenomenon with impressive displays that highlighted all the qualities that teams look for in players of his position.
Although he missed a few games in February, he has played in and started the last three league games. It will not be easy for Arsenal to sign Ivan Fresneda. They will face competition from many other clubs in the Premier League and it remains to be seen if they manage to pull this off.
