Arsenal fans have been reacting to a report from the Mirror that Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta will seek to sign Hector Bellerin if he wins his bid.

The 58-year-old is keen to bring Bellerin back to the club he left in 2011 to join the Gunners.

Apparently Bellerin is his top target, and early discussions have already started – with a £22 million plus add-ons deal mooted.

Bellerin has endured a tricky time at Arsenal of late, with the Spaniard coming in for criticism about his consistency.

The star has arguably not looked the same player since he sustained a serious knee injury against Chelsea in January 2019.

That put him on the sidelines for the best part of nine months, and he has struggled to reach the level he showed a few years back.

He is currently facing calls to be benched, with fans keen to see Ainsley Maitland-Niles or Cedric Soare given a run in the side.

If any transfer is to happen, it will take place in the summer with Bellerin apparently opposed to leaving mid-season.

On social media, it seems a fair few fans would not be opposed to Bellerin being sold to his former club:
