Inter Milan are “interested” in signing Arsenal’s £17m-rated defender Hector Bellerin this summer, according to reports.
Bellerin came through the ranks with Barcelona before he signed for the Gunners in 2011. He made his professional debut for the Londoners in 2013 during their League Cup run.
After a loan spell at Watford, the right-back became a regular for Arsenal from the 2014/15 season onwards.
Watford have made a huge mistake that could sting Hornets
The 26-year-old has racked up just short of 250 appearances for Arsenal over the past seven seasons.
Inter Milan are on the lookout for a new right-back this summer. This is with Achraf Hakimi set to join PSG for a fee in the region of £60m. Hakimi was linked with Chelsea before he agreed to join the French giants.
Sky Sports have reported that Inter Milan want to replace Hakimi with Bellerin. They are “interested” in signing him on loan with an option to buy in 2022. Arsenal value the defender at around £17m ahead of this potential move.
Elsewhere, Brighton star Ben White looks set to join Arsenal for around £50m.
Simon Jordan has suggested that there are “more compelling” clubs for White to join than the Gunners:
“Why would he want to go there?”
“With respect to Brighton it’s a step up but there may be other steps available to him that are far more compelling than Arsenal.
“If Ben White is now in the international squad and revered the way he is, because he’s a top quality player, why are Arsenal in the mix? Arsenal are all over the place.
“If you’re comparing and contrasting Brighton to Arsenal then yes it is a step up but if you’re comparing somebody who’s in the England squad that people in the game think is a Rolls Royce then what is the move he’s making to Arsenal for?”
On Mikel Arteta, Jordan added: “They are a long way from where they need to be and there’s a lot of people looking at Arteta, me included, who started out thinking this guy’s got the chops but are maybe thinking he’s all theory and not enough practice.”
