Arsenal need to move quickly to sign 18-year-old Arteta target – Player delighted with Gunners interest
Ivan Fresneda was thrilled and gratified to learn that Arsenal was one among the clubs interested in signing him away from Real Valladolid during the January transfer window.
The 18-year-old has shocked everyone this season with his performances in La Liga, which is why teams like the Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, and Sporting CP have all been showing interest.
Yet, if Mais Futebol on Thursday is to be believed, the German team has taken the lead and might outdo everyone—including Arsenal—to the finish line.
They are aware of this since Sporting recently approached the Bundesliga to “request information” about the Spaniard, only to be informed that Fresneda’s transfer had “advanced in negotiations.”
He is mentioned as being “also a target” for Arsenal, but it is now anticipated that the “Germans will win.”
To avoid falling behind Dortmund, Mikel Arteta and his compatriot will need to act soon if they truly want to play together at the Emirates next season.
For the La Liga team this season, the right-back has made 16 appearances across all competitions, including starting and finishing the last four league games.
