A number of Arsenal fans have given their thoughts on the report in The Times linking Hector Bellerin with a departure from the Emirates Stadium.

With Arsenal apparently on the verge of signing Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille, the Gunners are reported to have made five defenders available to recoup some funds.

According to The Times, Bellerin is one of those five, and Arsenal have offered him to beaten Champions League finalists Paris Saint-Germain.

The Ligue 1 champions are said to be on the lookout for a new right-back during the transfer window after the departure of Thomas Meunier, now with Borussia Dortmund.

With regards to interest in Bellerin, the outlet claims that PSG would need to assess how the 25-year-old has recovered from a knee injury last season.

Bellerin joined Arsenal from Barcelona’s academy in 2011 and has made 204 competitive appearances for the Gunners, registering eight goals and 25 assists.

Speculation surrounding the £110,000-a-week ace is nothing new this summer – The Telegraph claimed earlier this month that he’s open to a new challenge.

However, some Arsenal fans are baffled as to why both Bellerin and Ainsley Maitland-Niles would be linked with a departure without a potential replacement.

Some others welcome the speculation, however, hoping for an upgrade and a sizeable sum for his signature.
