Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has been strongly linked with a move back to Spain and joining Real Madrid according to Guardian.

Madrid’s bitter rivals Barcelona have been strongly linked with the player and both parties are keen to strike a deal to get the deal over the line this summer.

Bellerin hasn’t quite been at his best this season and has been criticised in a number of his performances and he is really going to need to step it up if he was to join Madrid this summer.

The Spanish defender has featured 32 times this season starting every Premier League game the only player in the squad to do so and has become a key part of the way the club play in recent seasons.

A move to Spain would obviously interest the player but he must keep himself grounded and continue to try and give his all for his current club Arsenal this season.
