27-year-old to return to Arsenal this summer despite enjoying successful loan spell: Reports

Arsenal loanee Hector Bellerin will return to the Emirates Stadium this summer despite having an impressive loan spell with Real Betis. The Spaniard joined Manuel Pellegrini's side on a season-long loan deal last summer and has gone on to become a fan favorite at the club.

Real Betis' president, Angel Haro, informed Marca that the 27-year-old has revealed that he will return to the Gunners after the end of his loan spell. This was confirmed by Haro during an event before the Europa League final. He said:

"Hector is a fantastic player and a very good person. It was a loan we had from Arsenal, now he returns to Arsenal and from there, we will see."

Haro, however, revealed that Bellerin has been enamored with life at Betis. He did not rule out a potential return for the Spaniard in the future due to his impact on the club and the fact that his parents are Beticos.

"It is true that he has been very caught up in everything that is Beticism because In addition, his parents are Betis. Hopefully we will cross paths again"

Hector Bellerin has made 32 appearances in all competitions for the La Liga club this season. He helped them finish fifth in the La Liga table, thereby securing qualification for next season's Europa League. The right-back also played a key role in the club's historic Copa del Rey triumph.

Arsenal will be keen to sell Hector Bellerin this summer to raise the funds required for new signings

Arsenal parted ways with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang by mutual consent in January after he was frozen out of the squad by Mikel Arteta. The club failed to sign a replacement for the Gabon striker. Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah's contracts are set to expire at the end of the season. The Gunners are therefore expected to sign a striker this summer.

The north London club are eager to sign a ball-playing defensive midfielder to play alongside Thomas Partey next season. According to Sky Sports, Mikel Arteta's side are eyeing up a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves. Reports suggest Bruno Lage's side could demand a fee in the region of £70 million.

The Premier League giants need to sell some players to raise the funds they require to sign a world-class striker, Ruben Neves, among other targets. Hector Bellerin could fetch a significant transfer fee as he is still only 27 years old and has enjoyed an impressive campaign with Real Betis.
