Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has reportedly emerged as a top transfer target for Barcelona, just weeks after it was claimed that the Catalan giants had dropped their interest.
Earlier this month, it was suggested that Barcelona had opted to look elsewhere after being given no encouragement by the Gunners, but it now appears that their stance has changed.
According to SPORT, Barcelona are hoping to stop their former academy player from signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium as they search for a long-term successor to Dani Alves.
Since coming into the Gunners' starting lineup, Bellerin has established himself as one of the first names on Arsene Wenger's teamsheet with the 21-year-old now having made 79 appearances for the club.
