Manchester City, Chelsea, and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Spanish defender Ivan Fresneda.
Ivan Fresneda is highly rated across Europe, and he has shown his quality with Sporting CP. The 21-year-old has the ability to do well in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for all three clubs.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Manchester City are looking to sign the 21-year-old. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the Spaniard could be an excellent addition. They are particularly lacking in depth in the full-back position. Manchester City will look to get back to the top of English football once again, and they will hope to increase their depth.
Pursuing the Spanish full-back could prove to be a wise decision. Fresneda is quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. Pep Guardiola could transform him into a quality player.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been linked with the defender for a long time as well. They already have players like Reece James and Malo Gusto at their disposal. It will be quite surprising if Chelsea decide to make a move for him. They will not be able to guarantee him first-team football every week.
Fresneda will not want to sit on the bench at the West London club. The youngster will look to join a club where he will play regularly. Moving to Chelsea does not make sense for him. Finally, West Ham United are interested in the player as well.
They could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the 21-year-old defender would be a future investment. He has the quality and the potential to develop into a reliable Premier League defender. West Ham would do well to secure his signature. It will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with the Portuguese club.
They will need to convince the 21-year-old Spanish defender to join the club as well. West Ham are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and the Sporting CP full-back might prefer to join a club where he will be able to fight for trophies.
