Juventus 'make late enquiry for Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin'

Arsenal have reportedly knocked back a late enquiry from Italian champions Juventus over the availability of full-back Hector Bellerin.

The 22-year-old was previously rumoured to be on the radar of Barcelona, where he spent eight years as a youngster before joining the Gunners in 2011.

Arsenal were quick to reject each offer from the Catalan club but, according to The Guardian, Juve made a deadline-day approach which proved to be unsuccessful.

It is claimed that the Gunners had no intention of selling the Spain international, particularly with so little time to bring in a replacement at the back.

Bellerin has played the full 90 minutes in all three of Arsenal's Premier League games so far in the 2017-18 season.
