Barcelona make 40 million move for Arsenal ace

Barcelona make 40 million move for Arsenal ace

Developed at the Masia academy but made in North London; these could be the words that best describes the career so far of Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin. The 22-year-old Spaniard has spent the past six years with The Gunners after joining from Barcelona in 2011 but now it seems likely that he will be heading back home this summer.
 
According to The Mirror, the Catalan giants are set to offer Arsenal £40M to take Bellerin back to the Camp Nou with new coach Ernesto Valverde having made him one of his top summer priorities. The Premier League side are desperate to keep hold of their highly-rated defender but without Champions League football at The Emirates next term, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that that scenario will happen.
 
Having recently signed a new deal at the club, Arsenal chiefs are holding out for the best price possible and the journal claims that they could make either Turkish midfielder Arda Turan or Denis Suarez part of any deal.
