Ivan Fresneda was unheard of heading into the 2022-23 campaign but has burst onto the La Liga scene with Newcastle United, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus all linked with a move for the right-back. The Spanish youth international has a reported release clause of £26.5million and regarded as one of the hottest talents in Europe.
Nonetheless, the Magpies would move to sign West Ham defender Harrison Ashby, with interest in Fresneda cooling as the January transfer window closed. The defender has caught the eye following an impressive breakthrough campaign and fine performance against Real Madrid earlier this season.
He's spoken for the firs time of his pride in being linked with some of Europe's top clubs and has started learning English and German ahead of a possible transfer this summer.
