Real Betis have agreed a loan move for Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin as the Gunners push for a deal to sign Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu on Deadline Day.
Bellerin is having a medical in Seville ahead of a loan move to Beits with an option to buy.
The 26-year-old’s Arsenal contract expires in the summer of 2023 and he looks set to end his decade stay at the Emirates.
Bellerin has won three FA Cups at Arsenal after joining the club as a youth player in 2011 from Barcelona.
