Arsenal icon Emmanuel Petit has green-lit a swoop for Ivan Fresneda as the Gunners attempt to seal the services of the “powerful” defender.
The North London side have already been extremely busy in the January transfer window having sealed the combined £48m signings of Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior from Brighton and Spezia respectively. It does not look like they are quite finished there, having been linked with a swoop for Real Valladolid defender Ivan Fresneda.
They face competition for the 18-year-old with German giants Borussia Dortmund also noted as admirers. The Bundesliga side’s interest could cause problems with Fresneda eyeing first-team football - something that might be tricky at the Emirates Stadium considering the competition in North London.
