Hector Bellerin will stay at Arsenal, according to ESPN, as he has bought into Mikel Arteta’s vision.

Bellerin has been linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer, with the right-back very much in demand.

With Arsenal looking to raise funds there were suggestions that Bellerin could be offloaded in order to improve the side’s finances.

However, ESPN claim that Arteta has persuaded Bellerin to stay put.

Arteta has apparently sold his vision to the rapid defender, and Bellerin is now happy to stay.

Arsenal will hope that Bellerin can contribute more to the cause next term.

The 25-year-old has missed much of the current campaign with injury, which has been a blow for the Gunners.

Arsenal have a lack of natural right-backs in their first-team squads, and if Bellerin can stay fit now it should help Arteta to tighten things up in defence in the future.
