Hector Bellerin agent 'working on Barcelona deal'

The agent of Hector Bellerin is reportedly working closely with Barcelona chiefs to help thrash out the defender's move from Arsenal.

Bellerin has been heavily linked with his former club this summer, supposedly being seen as the ideal player to solve their right-back troubles.

Six years after departing Barca's famed La Masia youth setup to join the Gunners, the Spain international could be on his way back as he is said to be focused on playing his part in forcing through a transfer.

According to Sport, Bellerin will do whatever is necessary to ensure that he is a Barcelona player come next season, with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger resigned to seeing the full-back move on.

Bellerin is due back at Arsenal in a couple of weeks' time after being given a short break on the back of his U21 Euro 2017 commitments, playing in four of Spain's five games as they finished runners-up to Germany.
