Arsenal target Ivan Fresneda has broken his silence on the January transfer talk that linked him with a move to the Gunners from Real Valladolid. The exciting Spanish full-back was of interest to several European clubs alongside Arsenal including Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
Towards the end of the winter window, football.london reported that Arsenal were tracking a potential move for the 18-year-old. However, there were a number of reasons that prevented a deal from being agreed.
Valladolid set their asking price at €15million (£13.25million) for Fresneda to leave in January, but the Spanish club wanted him back on loan for the rest of the season, a condition Arsenal were not interested in accepting.
