Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin says that he has no intention of leaving the club as he is "very happy in London".

Hector Bellerin has stressed that he is "very happy" at Arsenal and has no reason to leave the club, amid repeated links with a return to Barcelona.

The Spanish right-back has racked up 162 appearances for the Gunners since joining from the Spanish champions in 2011 and graduating through the club's youth system.

Barca are reportedly looking to bring the 23-year-old back to Camp Nou, though, while Pep Guardiola would also supposedly like to work with him at Manchester City.

Bellerin has once again attempted to clear up any uncertainty over his future, however, by insisting that he intends to see out his long-term deal at Arsenal.

"It is crazy that people ask me these questions all the time," he told reporters. "A few years ago I signed a very long-term contract. I have never said that I have wanted to be anywhere else.

"I am very happy in London. I am very happy at this club. The club have made me who I am and gave me the chance to be the footballer I am today. So I don't want to be anywhere else."

The contract extension signed by Bellerin in November 2016 is expected to run through until 2023.
