Arsenal have reportedly identified a suitable replacement for Hector Bellerin, should he make the switch to Barcelona.

Bellerin has made more than 200 appearances in the Gunners shirt, but he has divided opinion among the fans with his performances.

According to The Mirror, the Blaugrana could attempt to sign Bellerin next year following the confirmation of a new president.

The Gunners are willing to sell the Spaniard at the right price and it is claimed that they already have a suitable replacement in mind.

The club have been closely monitoring the progress of Tariq Lamptey since his move to Brighton & Hove Albion from Chelsea last winter.

Similar to Bellerin, Lamptey is an attacking right-back by trade, but he has also impressed with his defensive work on numerous occasions.

He still has more than two years on his contract, but reports claim that a fee of around £30m could tempt Brighton to consider his sale.

Bellerin is currently valued in the region of £35m.
