Arsenal loanee Hector Bellerin is set to return to the Emirates this summer after his spell at Real Betis ends, confirmed the Spanish club’s president. The 27-year-old has impressed for the La Liga side, with suggestions over a potential permanent switch.
The right-back has managed 23 appearances in the league, assisting twice and guiding them to fifth under former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini. The Spaniard’s deal runs out with the Gunners in 2023, with question marks hanging over his future, with Cedric Soares and Takehiro Tomiyasu the current choices on his flank.
Manager Mikel Arteta had revealed that he is planning around Bellerin next season already: “Any player with a contractual obligation with us, both ways, is our player and is considered our player. Every plan considers that possibility [that Bellerin could stay] exists and how they can fit into our team."
