Arsenal make Hector Bellerin transfer decision

Arsenal are open to sanctioning the loan exit of Hector Bellerin, provided there is an obligation to buy next summer.

The right-back fell out-of-favour during the second half of last season, and he is likely to head for the exit door.

The Gunners are yet to receive any permanent offers, and Gazzetta dello Sport claims that a loan deal could be accepted.

Inter are keen on signing the Spain international as a replacement for Achraf Hakimi, who was sold to Paris Saint-Germain.

However, there remains a stumbling block with the Nerazzurri reluctant to pay more than £20m as a compulsory future fee.

The north Londoners want around £25m for the former Barcelona graduate, who has two years remaining on his contract.

They are already searching for a potential replacement, and have recently been linked with Bologna's Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The Japan international has reportedly agreed terms with Tottenham Hotspur, but the Gunners are looking to hijack the deal at the final hurdle.
