Arsenal have "torpedoed" talks over an exit for right-back Hector Bellerin this summer, according to reports. The Spaniard spent the previous season on loan at Real Betis, impressing in his time with the La Liga club.
However, his return to the Emirates leaves plenty of questions surrounding his future, with just one year remaining on his deal in north London. The 27-year-old, should he stay, would also have the task of overcoming both Takehiro Tomiyasu and Cedric Soares for a first-team spot on a regular basis.
It has seen a dramatic change in fortune for Bellerin, who was once a guaranteed name on the team sheet every week. Since breaking through the academy, the full-back has managed 239 appearances for Arsenal, winning three FA Cups and three Community Shields.
