Arsenal has been monitoring Ivan Fresneda since his time at Real Valladolid in Spain. They have now renewed their interest in signing him. The club has long admired his potential, and recent performances have brought him back into the spotlight.Sporting Club won the initial race for his signature, and he has remained with them as he developed steadily.

If he does move, it could represent a significant step in his career, providing him with a platform to test himself at the highest level.Arsenal’s Squad and StrategyThe Gunners already have some strong performers in their squad. They possess at least two quality right-backs, and Cristhian Mosquera can also step into that role and perform well when required. This flexibility allows Mikel Arteta to rotate players while maintaining strength in key areas.Mikel Arteta’s side has a history of signing some of the finest talents from across Europe. This is likely a key reason for their renewed pursuit of Fresneda. The club appears to be looking not only to strengthen its current options but also to invest in players with long-term potential. Fresneda fits that profile, as he could contribute at the highest level for several seasons. His style of play and versatility make him an attractive prospect for the future.Competition for FresnedaPer A Bola, Newcastle United and Manchester City have also expressed interest in Fresneda. Arsenal will face significant competition if they wish to secure his transfer.

The coming months may prove decisive for his next step._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
