Arsenal poised to complete third January signing as breakthrough in talks puts them in pole position

Posted by

Arsenal have reportedly moved into pole position for the transfer of Real Valladolid wonderkid Ivan Fresneda.

The 18-year-old Spanish right-back has been attracting plenty of attention this January, but it now looks like he’s poised to join the Gunners, becoming their third new addition of this window, according to Football Insider.

The report states that Arsenal made a breakthrough in talks and are now ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the running to sign Fresneda, who will then return to Valladolid on loan until the end of the season.

If this proves accurate, it’s another exciting piece of Arsenal transfer news in what has to go down as a strong window by the north London giants.

Ivan Fresneda is set to join Arsenal

Mikel Arteta’s side currently sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League after some superb performances this season, and they’re also going about things in the right manner off the pitch.

Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior have both joined Arsenal this winter, and Fresneda would be another smart signing for the club’s future.

  1. Love the kid to come. Zinchenko can learn him to play modern fullback – with emphasis on “full”. The way Oleks play put him in an own division. He’s playing left wingback-left side midfielder on the same time and give Arsenal center pitch legacy.

  2. If he is half what zinchenko was in the Manchester United game, then i will be very happy for him to sign up for the gunners. I don’t know much about the lad but if dortmund are interested, i know how they know how to spot gems and this is no different.

  3. Let,s counttinue to sign good prospects with moderate price. We are having better & quality depts now in all departments. God bless ARSENAL, God bless our supporters IJN.

  4. Focusing on Deccan Rice is top priority. When at the start most pundits thought Arsenal had no chance, I thought they were wrong. Arsenal also is good at producing wonder Baby Gunners (Willock, Nketiah, and above all Saka). The academy is becoming an excellent source.

  5. Fresneda is a natural attacking right back with enormous potential.He has the technical ability and pace to be effective in the final third of the pitch unlike Tomi and Ben White who are strong defensively but are weaker when it comes to crossing on the run for example.I believe the young Spaniard could well become a first team regular at Arsenal before too long and he would be an excellent acquisition for Arsenal particularly as Cedric is likely to be moved on, one way or another.
