Newcastle hold further talks to sign Real Vallodolid's teenage defender Ivan Fresneda... with the Magpies keen to Arsenal in the race for his signature

Newcastle have held further talks over a move for 18-year-old Real Valladolid right-back Ivan Fresneda.

Chief scout Steve Nixon watched Fresneda when he played for Valladolid against Real Madrid last month and Newcastle staff are keen to snap up the promising teenager ahead of competition from Arsenal, among others.

Fresneda's agent Luis Bardaji was in London at the weekend and Newcastle are trying to negotiate a deal for the defender, who has a buy-out clause of around £8.8million.
