Arsenal transfer news: Arsenal are said to be back in the race for young defender Ivan Fresneda this summer, despite interest from Barcelona

Declan Rice also looks set to make a move to north London in the coming days, with a deal agreed at a club-record £105million to West Ham. There's a third arrival expected in Jurrian Timber as the versatile defender is nearing a move from Ajax for a fee worth roughly £40milllion.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Gunners are back in the mix to land the 18-year-old full-back after previously focusing their attention elsewhere. Barcelona are also believed to be showing interest in signing Fresneda as part of a push towards signing high potential youth stars.

Both teams have the option of triggering a release clause in his contract, with £17million touted as the price after Real Valladolid's relegation from La Liga. It remains to be seen whether the north London outfit will make such a move though, given their strength in depth.
