"Arsenal are interested in selling the Real Madrid defender, Victor Valdepenas. According to TEAMtalk, a move in January is unlikely, but Arsenal are targeting the 19-year-old defender and could make a move in the future. The towering defender is naturally a central defender, but he can also play as a left back. He has the tools to develop into a top-class player, and Arsenal could groom him into a future star."
"He needs first-team opportunities to continue his development, and Arsenal might not be the ideal destination for him right now. He should look to join a club where there is a prominent first-team role for him. Real Madrid might not be able to provide him with Apple opportunities either. It would be ideal for the young defender to go out on loan and gain some valuable first-team experience."
Arsenal are interested in signing 19-year-old Real Madrid defender Víctor Valdepeñas, though a January transfer is considered unlikely. The player is naturally a centre-back who can also operate at left-back. He has the physical attributes and technical tools to develop into a top-class player. Real Madrid have given him a senior debut this season and may prefer to retain and develop him into a first-team regular. Arsenal already have depth in defence, reducing the likelihood of immediate game time for the youngster. Regular first-team minutes, possibly through a loan to a club offering a prominent role, would best support his development.
