A deal that suits all parties – TBR View

Bellerin has been on the Gunners’ books for over a decade now.

He came to North London from Barcelona as a teenager and made a name for himself after he burst onto the scene under Arsene Wenger.

After 10 years at the Emirates, Bellerin decided he wanted a change last summer.

He joined Real Betis on a season-long loan deal, and had a fantastic campaign there.

Though Mikel Arteta rates Bellerin highly, Arsenal have very much moved on from having him in the team.

And so, this looks like a deal that will suit all parties.

Bellerin returns to the club where he had success last term, and Arsenal get £110,000-a-week off their wage bill.
