Valdepeñas, for his part, is a talented defender, capable of taking to the pitch at either centre-back, or left-back.

He was afforded a first-ever senior appearance for Real Madrid back in December, featuring from the off in a 2-1 La Liga victory over Deportivo Alavés.

Many behind the scenes at Valdebebas have long considered the Spaniard to be a future star in the making.

Such admiration, however, has not put an end to near-incessant speculation, linking Valdepeñas with an exit from Real Madrid.

And as alluded to above, early this week, a fresh update on the situation has come to the fore.

The info comes courtesy of market insider Fabrizio Romano, who has confirmed:

‘Arsenal keep tracking Víctor Valdepeñas since October, AC Milan also keen on Spanish talented defender. Real Madrid to decide in the next months on 19-year-old’s future.’
