The Gunners have been linked with Fresneda
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has told the House of Champions podcast that Borussia Dortmund have offered to sign him now and loan him out until the end of the season.
However, should Arsenal secure his signature, there is a chance that Tierney’s time at the Emirates Stadium will come to an end.
CBS Sports correspondent James Benge said: “There is this growing expectation at Arsenal right now that Kieran Tierney could be a move this summer.
“I don’t think Arsenal would push him out the door, but now he’s not a guaranteed starter. I think if the right offer has come in all parties believe it’s something that could happen. , not guaranteed.
“In this case, what you might see is Fresneda coming in to play alongside Ben White as two right-backs and then [Takehiro] Tomiyasu actually becomes the backup left-back, it’s a role he played a bit for Arteta.
“It wouldn’t shock me if Arsenal were willing to do the same as Dortmund and loan out Fresneda. Maybe Tierney wins his Premier League medal and moves on.
