Hector Bellerin has been sensational for Arsenal last season

The La Masia product is finally coming of age as he has just spent a season cementing his place as Arsenal’s preferred full back. His sensational displays at right back have resulted in a call-up into the National Setup and have made several of Europe’s elite clubs take notice of the player’s prowess.

The Catalan side may want to look to Arsenal to facilitate his return as they did with Cesc Fabregas before. The ideal candidate to replace Dani Alves according to many out there, Bellerin has the ability to maraud forward with panache and hold defensive forte with ease as well. At just 21 years of age, it would seem he is yet to climb to his full potential and that is what makes him such an interesting prospect.

The decision makers at Camp Nou will probably have him high up on their list of preferred targets this summer but with Arsenal extremely reluctant to sell, any move would depend on almost completely on Hector himself. The Spanish defender may well need to agitate for a move with Barcelona having to stump up a sufficient amount of cash to get the Spanish International to return to the Camp Nou.
