Real Valladolid right-back Ivan Fresneda on Wednesday missed training at the Spanish club amid interests from both Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.
The 18-year-old is set to make a decision on his future today, after Mikel Arteta’s club matched Dortmund’s £13m offer.
Spanish outlet, MARCA, reported that Fresneda was ‘absent with discomfort’ from training at the club’s training base in the country’s north-west.
