Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad with the signing of Real Madrid defender Victor Valdepenas.
The 19-year-old is the latest target for the Premier League club and they have been tracking him for some time, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Arsenal focus on Victor Valdepenas
The defender recently made his first-team debut with Real Madrid and is highly rated across Europe. He has a bright future ahead of him and Valdepenas could be a good long-term investment for Arsenal.
This player is a versatile player who can play both as a central defender and as a full-back. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to seal a deal.
Several clubs are interested in the defender. It won’t be easy for Arsenal to secure his signature.
Will Real Madrid let Valdepenas leave?
Meanwhile, Real Madrid may also be reluctant to let the player leave. They are looking to build a formidable squad and the 19-year-old could play a key role in their future.
He has the potential to become a quality defender with the right guidance. Real Madrid need more quality and depth in their defense and may choose to keep hold of the young defender. The player is unlikely to force a move away from the Spanish club and it could be difficult for Arsenal to convince both the player and the club.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
There is no doubt that Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have the financial power to make a deal. If they can guarantee regular minutes for the young defender, he might want to join them.
