The future of Hector Bellerin has been a point of discussion for Arsenal in the past week considering the Spaniard created the goal for Real Betis as they lifted the Copa del Rey. Bellerin left Arsenal on a season-long loan on deadline day after Takehiro Tomiyasu was brought into the team.
The Japanese international has been a huge success for Arsenal and only injury has dampened the hype around him. Bellerin’s time away has not convinced many that he still has a place in the team and reports emerged suggesting Betis would be looking to make the deal permanent.
However, there are parallels between Bellerin and fellow loanee William Saliba. Both did not have a place in Mikel Arteta’s plans this season and left to ensure regular game time.
