Arsenal are pushing to sign Real Valladolid fullback Ivan Fresneda.

The Gunners have moved back into pole position for the 18-year-old who has a buy-out clause set at £8.8million.

Newcastle United made attempts to sign the teenager last week but have now switched back to West Ham right-back Harrison Ashby, says the Daily Mail.

Fresneda was left out of Valladolid's starting line-up on Saturday as they lost to Atletico Madrid and has a number of clubs showing interest.

Arsenal want cover with Cedric Soares expected to join Fulham.
