Arsenal fans have taken to social media to react to defender Hector Bellerin’s cryptic tweet which appears to shed some light on his future plans.
The 22-year-old defender has been heavily linked with a summer move to Spanish giants Barcelona, with some media reporting that the wheels are already rolling on a transfer deal.
Spanish media outlet RAC1 reported on Wednesday that a deal on personal terms had been agreed between Barcelona and the right-back, although insisted that there was no deal in place between the two clubs.
However on Thursday Bellerin took to Twitter to seemingly rubbish the claims on his own personal account.
Don't believe everything you read…

Wish Bellerin had tweeted sooner but good to know the man is staying. Struggled this season but is the best right back in PL on form.

The 22-year-old has established himself as Arsene Wenger’s first choice right-back and has built up a reputation as a pacey wing-back who can offer a potent attacking threat as well as confidently carry out his defensive duties.
He made 42 appearances across all competitions last campaign, which included success in the FA Cup, and has appeared 114 times in total for the North London side, while he has also made three appearances for the Spanish national team.
