Hector Bellerin 'considering Arsenal exit amid Paris Saint-Germain links'

Hector Bellerin is reportedly pondering an Arsenal exit amid interest from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old has been with the Gunners since he joined from Barcelona as a 16-year-old and has become a key player for the London club in recent years.

However, CBS Sports reports that Bellerin is keen on a fresh challenge and is ready to consider leaving Arsenal this summer.

PSG manager and former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be an admirer of the Spaniard, who has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract.

Barcelona, as well as at least two other clubs in Serie A, are also believed to be monitoring the situation and will look to try and persuade the right-back to leave London this summer.

Mikel Arteta is hoping that his compatriot stays at Arsenal, but Bellerin is desperate to compete for trophies and would rather spend the remaining years of his prime away from a club in a transition phase.

Bellerin, who has won three FA Cups with the Gunners, has made 22 Premier League appearances so far this season, scoring once against Leeds United earlier this month.
