Arsenal could launch a second bid for Spanish prospect Ivan Fresneda if Manchester City block them from signing Joao Cancelo.
Cancelo, 28, fell out with City manager Pep Guardiola during the January transfer window and was sent on loan to Bayern Munich. But after an underwhelming few months in Bavaria, the German giants aren't likely to make his stay permanent by triggering their option to buy for €70million (£61m).
That's alerted Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who worked with Cancelo for four months while being part of Guardiola's backroom staff in 2019. But after selling Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal last summer and ending up in a Premier League title fight with them, City could block Cancelo's reunion with Arteta, and leave the Gunners needing to search elsewhere for a new full-back.
