Hector Bellerin’s Arsenal contract is threatening to derail his dream of a permanent move to Real Betis.
The Spanish full-back has been with the Gunners for more than a decade, signing from Barcelona as a youngster and progressing through the club’s academy. Since graduating to the first team, Bellerin has made nearly 250 appearances for Arsenal.
But he admits that he fell out of love with football in recent times at North London, with his form eluding him in his most recent campaign in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta, who saw Takehiro Tomiyasu arrive last summer, sanctioned a season-long loan deal for Bellerin which enabled him to join his boyhood club Betis.
