Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has advised Ivan Fresneda to snub Newcastle United for Arsenal

Despite interest from Eddie Howe and Newcastle United, 90min reports that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has personally contacted Ivan Fresneda to convince him to transfer to the Emirates Stadium.

According to the report, three Premier League clubs have shown interest in acquiring Real Valladolid’s Fresneda during the January transfer window. According to the report, Newcastle has already contacted Valladolid regarding a possible move of the Spaniard this month.

According to 90min, Arsenal has begun negotiations with Valladolid for Fresneda, and manager Arteta has talked with the 18-year-old player personally about a transfer to North London.

We believe Arsenal would be a more enticing destination for Ivan Fresneda than Newcastle United during the January transfer window. Newcastle is a Premier League powerhouse, yet this year’s Premier League crown might go to Arsenal.

Furthermore, the Gunners are a worldwide phenomenon and among the world’s most famous sports teams. Arsenal has a youthful and exciting squad that Arteta is able to get the most out of.

Despite his early age, right-back Fresneda has already been hailed as “great” and “tough” by Valladolid’s head coach Pacheta, according to a MundoDeportivo article published in January 2023.
