Hector Bellerin completed a permanent move to Barcelona on Thursday, spelling the end of his 11-year Arsenal career.
Despite being close friends with the Arsenal manager, Bellerin had found himself out of favour under Mikel Arteta and spent last season on loan with Real Betis. It was a move that proved to be successful, with both the player and the La Liga club eager to make the move permanent this summer.
However, financial struggles on Betis' side ultimately made it too challenging for that to happen, leaving Bellerin's future unresolved at the start of deadline day. Eventually, another side showed interest in the remaining hours of the window and the 27-year-old returned to the Blaugrana.
