Agent: 'No contact from potential suitors for Hector Bellerin'

Hector Bellerin's agent has revealed that there has been "no contact" from potential suitors amid speculation over the Arsenal defender's future.

The Spaniard signed a new six-and-a-half-year contract in 2016, but continues to be linked with a departure from the Emirates Stadium.

Italian Serie A giants Juventus and Napoli are reported to have joined the chase for Bellerin, while a possible move to Barcelona has been mooted for some time.

Albert Botines, Bellerin's representative, told Naples-based station Radio CRC that no clubs had declared their interest in the 23-year-old.

"There's no contact for Bellerin, no-one has sought me out," Botines said.

"He's happy, he's recently renewed and he's playing consistently. It's true that every player always wants to grow, but right now it's difficult [to see him leaving].

"If the Azzurri were interested in some of my clients I would listen, because - just like Juventus - Napoli are not only a great team in Italy but also now in Europe."

Bellerin has made 152 appearances for Arsenal since making his debut in 2013.
