Hector Bellerin is reported to be a transfer target of Barcelona.

According to a report on talkSPORT the Arsenal defender was watched against Bayern Munich and although the Gunners lost 5-1 the full-back wasn’t implicated in the post-mortem.

Bellerin signed a new long term contract in November but even the biggest clubs struggle to keep hold of their stars when Barca come calling.

Barcelona believe that they have unfinished business with the full-back who quit their academy in 2011 to follow Cesc Fabregas to The Emirates.

After loan stints at Barnsley and Watford Bellerin has now made close to 100 appearances for Arsenal and is firmly established as their first choice right-back.

With uncertainty over the future of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil the last thing that Arsenal want to do is lose Bellerin but with Arsene Wenger still to decide whether he is staying or not an opportunist bid for the Spanish full-back looks increasingly likely.
