Fresneda was very close to joining Arsenal during the summer transfer window. The Spanish full-back ultimately did not join the English club, but the possibility was seriously considered by the Gunners' scouting team.

The player was included on a list of targets that Arsenal considered signing that summer. The English club analyzed several options to strengthen the defensive sector before the start of the new season.

Fresneda, who plays as a right-back, was seen as a potential solution to strengthen Arsenal's defense. However, the club ultimately did not complete the signing of the Spaniard.
