Arsenal willing to sanction loan exit for 26-year-old – ‘Always in pole’ for club, other targets too expensive

Arsenal are willing to sanction a loan deal for Hector Bellerin this summer as Inter Milan chase his signature.

That’s according to Tuttosport, who say the Spaniard is a target as the club look to sign both a left-back and right-back for next season.

The newspaper explains that Inter chief Beppe Marotta is ‘working to sort out the flanks’ and the Arsenal man is ‘always in pole’ for the right-back spot.

That’s set to be vacated by Achraf Hakimi’s move to Paris Saint Germain, and Bellerin is considered the ‘big name’ to fill the hole left in Inter’s squad.

Any move will be dependant on Arsenal sanctioning a move, but that seems likely, with numerous reports over the last month indicating the 26-year-old is on the list of players they are willing to let leave.

All indications have been that they will push for a permanent deal, but Tuttosport say they have ‘opened the door’ to a loan deal with a ‘right of redemption’ tagged onto it.

There’s no mention of the prices involved as yet, just that the Gunners are willing to sanction such a deal.

If that is the case, then a move seems likely, with Bellerin a move attractive option than the likes of Manuel Lazzari and Denzel Dumfries, who are considered ‘too expensive’ for the Serie A champions.
