Arsenal have reportedly received a transfer boost in their hunt to sign Real Valladolid defender, Ivan Fresneda ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Premier League club are apparently interested in the 18-year-old right-back. But Bundesliga outfit, Borussia Dortmund are set to rival them for his signature.
SportWitness claimed that Arsenal have made the Spaniard a sizable offer. But it is unclear whether the Gunners will be able to close the deal.
Ben White has been Mikel Arteta’s right-back for the majority of this campaign. But Arsenal are interested in adding a more specialized alternative during the summer transfer window.
Fresneda has already established himself as a crucial member of Real Valladolid. And in the near future, he has the potential to become a world-class defender. He might realize his enormous potential by getting regular playing time at the Premier League team.
Since taking over, Arteta has done a commendable job of developing gifted young players at the north London-based club. And he could help the 18-year-old Spanish footballer continue to advance in his position.

Arsenal have more financial resources than Dortmund does. And if they can guarantee the young defender the requisite playing time, he might be persuaded to sign with them this summer.
This season, Arsenal competed for the league crown and made a return to the UEFA Champions League. To compete on all fronts the following season, they will need a stronger team. Their main aim should be to improve the caliber and depth of their defense.
