According to reports, Arsenal have made a £13 million proposal to his current club ahead of a prospective trade, while German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund are also vying for his talents.

Meanwhile, Valladolid are understood to be interested on re-loaning the teenager, with Dortmund apparently willing to match their expectations.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners will now spend the next 24 to 48 hours deciding whether they will continue pursuing Fresneda over the closing days of the window. It remains to be seen if they move onto alternative right-backs should they elect to pull out of the race for his services.
