Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin is apparently unlikely to remain at the Emirates next season despite being set to return to north London in the coming weeks. The Spaniard has spent the season on loan with Real Betis in La Liga but his spell is set to come to an end with his next move unknown.
With the arrival of Takehiro Tomiyasu in the summer and Cedric Soares also available, Mikel Arteta decided the time was right for Bellerin to seek alternative opportunities. And so he moved to Betis where he has impressed, producing five assists across 32 games and helping them to a Copa Del Rey title.
The 27-year-old will still have a year remaining on his Arsenal contract come the end of the season and it remains to be seen what his next move will be. Earlier this year Arteta was asked about the future of the Hale End graduate and insisted that as things stood, they were continuing to plan around Bellerin.
