Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin was many fans’ favourite to succeed Laurent Koscielny as the club’s captain this summer. Unai Emery opted to put it to a players vote which led to Granit Xhaka being given the armband and we all know how that turned out.

The Spanish defender continues to work his way back to full-fitness but amidst reports there is interest in the player from Italy, these Arsenal fans would be happy to say goodbye to the right-back if the price was right.

What do we think?

Bellerin is Arsenal through and through. The 24-year-old signed for the club back in 2011 and has made 186 appearances for the club. His dynamism at right-back has been sorely missed during his long-term absence and, whilst he’s not quite yet as sharp as he needs to be, the Gunners’ faithful are generally pleased to see him back.

According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, the Spaniard is valued at £36m, although that would have to be largely down to the vast experience he possesses at such a young age. The supporters may be willing to allow him to leave if the offer on the table is significant enough but the difficulty comes when trying to replace somebody who is not only competent but knows the club inside out.
