Arsenal, Man City and Newcastle in battle for Sporting’s 21-year-old star | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda's performances have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs. The Spanish right-back has sparked interest from teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Newcastle, and his stay for the next season is not a certainty.

The upcoming summer transfer window could bring several proposals to the Alvalade Club. According to the British press, the 'Gunners', who aim to continue strengthening Mikel Arteta's team, have been closely following the performance of the 21-year-old winger.

With Jurrien Timber as the starting right-back and Ben White as an alternative, the Londoners are considering changes in the defensive sector for the next season, and the Spaniard emerges as a prominent option. Man City, on the other hand, is also observing the player, with prior knowledge from Hugo Viana, the current sporting director of the Citizens, who signed him from Valladolid to Alvalade.

Newcastle, with Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth nearing the end of their contracts, sees Rui Borges' protégé as an opportunity - who stood out in the Champions League - to renew the right flank of their defense. The English club had already shown interest in the right-back before his arrival at the Lions in the 2023/24 season.

Iván Fresneda - valued at 12 million euros - has already played 31 matches wearing the Sporting jersey this season: 19 in the Liga Portugal, seven in the Champions League, three in the Taça de Portugal, one in the Taça da Liga, and another in the Supertaça. In his 2,264 minutes of play, he has scored one goal and provided two assists.
