Aaron Wan-Bissaka would be an exciting Arsenal signing but where does that leave Hector Bellerin?

Arsenal are the latest club to join the race for talented Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to The Sun.

Wan-Bissaka’s performances for Crystal Palace have not gone unnoticed as he continues to impress in defence and moving forward.

The young right-back is wanted by a host of clubs with the Eagles holding out for £40m for their prize academy starlet.

Wan-Bissaka is an exciting option and would provide Arsenal with years of good service at right-back if they won the chase for him.

But if the England under-21 starlet does move to The Emirates, it raises questions over the future of Hector Bellerin.

Surely neither Bellerin nor Wan-Bissaka would be content with a bench role and sharing it seems out of the question.

Bellerin is currently out with a long-term knee injury but he would hope to return and immediately regain his starting spot.

If Wan-Bissaka moves to North London, he would limit Bellerin’s chances of remaining as Arsenal’s first-choice right-back. And this in turn could lead to the Spaniard’s departure.

Unai Emery will have a major decision to make; does he stick with Bellerin or twist and bring in Wan-Bissaka?

Both are exciting young full-backs with bright futures but which option should Arsenal take?
