Real Betis considering move for Arsenal defender

Real Betis are interested in signing Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin this summer, football.london reports.

The Spaniard has been with the Gunners for the past decade, but he is expected to leave the club in the coming weeks.

The north Londoners are looking for around £30m to sanction his sale, but they are yet to receive any suitable offers.

According to football.london, Betis are keen on signing the right-back, but they are interested in a loan deal with a buy option.

The Gunners are reluctant to accept the proposal, and would prefer to offload the defender permanently this summer.

Bellerin has two years remaining on his contract. He was on the radar of French giants Paris Saint-Germain 12 months ago.

Les Parisiens could yet return for his services after deciding against a permanent deal for Alessandro Florenzi.

Florenzi was signed on loan from Roma last summer, but he has not done enough to convince Les Parisiens to buy him.
