Emery tells key defender he wants him to stay

New Arsenal manager Unai Emery has told Hector Bellerin that he would like to keep him at the club beyond the summer.

According to a report from the Mirror, Emery has made the Spaniard aware that he has a place in his squad for the new season, with the former Paris Saint-Germain boss continuing to put his stamp on the squad.

Bellerin’s Arsenal future has been questioned in recent months, with the defender being linked with moves to Juventus and Barcelona.

Emery has set out to reshape the Arsenal defence, with deals lined up for Borussia Dortmund’s Sokratis and German international Bernd Leno.

Stephan Lichtsteiner became Emery’s first signing when he joined Arsenal on a free transfer from Juventus, which raised more questions about the Spaniard’s future.

However, despite the Swiss’ arrival, Emery still sees Bellerin, who is under contract until 2023, as a key member of his squad.
