Arsenal set to miss out on teen sensation with star staying in Spain until summer as club ‘reject loan bid’
ARSENAL have been dealt a blow as they are set to miss out on Ivan Fresneda, according to reports.
The Gunners were linked with a January move for the right-back.

Borussia Dortmund also showed an interest in the young defender.
But according to Fabrizio Romano both clubs are set to miss out with Fresneda set to stay at Real Valladolid.
Fresneda, 18, was also said to be wanted by Arsenal’s top four rivals Newcastle.
But following a conversation with Mikel Arteta Fresneda had his heart set on a £13million switch to The Emirates.
He even missed Valladolid’s 1-0 win over Valencia on Sunday.
Reports claimed Fresneda was not involved because of ongoing negotiations between Valladolid and the Gunners.
Spanish big boys Real Madrid were also interested in signing him this month.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti was said to have been impressed by Fresneda’s displays in LaLiga this season, so much so he wanted to bolster his options on the right side of defence by signing him.

Arsenal appear to have missed out on Fresneda, a setback after also seeing their approach for Moises Caicedo rebuffed.
Instead the Gunners have moved for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho who is set to arrive for £12m.
