Hector Bellerin has told the decision-makers at Inter Milan that he would like to join them this summer with the right-back keen to leave Arsenal, according to a report from Calciomercato.

Bellerin has been linked with the Emirates exit for some time. The 26-year-old has arguably not kicked on as many expected him to when he broke into the Gunners first-team.

And it seems that the Nerazzurri want to offer him a fresh challenge.

According to Calciomercato, they are looking at a loan with an option to buy. Bellerin meanwhile, is keen to leave.

And interestingly, Calciomercato reports that Bellerin has told Piero Ausilio and Beppe Marotta that he wants to join.

Inter loan move for Bellerin may be better than nothing for Arsenal

It remains to be seen if Arsenal are willing to loan him out. It is surely not the ideal option for the Gunners.

Having said that, a loan move may be better than nothing. It could still lead to a permanent deal further down the line.

Bellerin is on £110,000-a-week, according to Spotrac. So moving his wages off the books would be a boost.

Arsenal look to have big plans for this summer. So freeing up that space would be a smart move.

Bellerin can potentially look to get his career back on track. Inter, of course, are back on top of Italian football.

They can offer the Spaniard Champions League football. And if he shines while in Milan, they may yet be able to offer the defender a permanent move.
