Arsenal are monitoring 19-year-old Real Madrid defender Víctor Valdepeñas, who is considered a target because of his ability to play at either left-back or at centre-back. It is understood that Arsenal have scouted the teenager as they look to add a young and versatile defender to their squad, although they may wait until the summer to do so. A deal could be difficult as Real Madrid considers Valdepeñas an exciting young talent, and he is also attracting interest from other top European clubs.
