Barcelona capitalise on Mikel Arteta's transfer U-turn as Arsenal switch target

Barcelona are aiming to sign former Arsenal target Ivan Fresneda with the Gunners still seemingly stewing over a deal.

The North London side were strongly linked with a move for the Real Valladolid defender during the January transfer window. German giants Borussia Dortmund were also reportedly in the running for his services.

Neither Arsenal or the Bundesliga side managed to get a deal over the line, with Fresneda staying with Valladolid for the second half of last season. The 18-year-old continued to underline his talents with 24 appearances in all competitions. His efforts did not go rewarded though as the Spanish side were relegated from La Liga.
