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.
