Medical complete: Arsenal star set to take pay cut as he closes in on loan exit

Hector Bellerin has reportedly completed his medical ahead of a loan exit from Arsenal to Real Betis, according to David Ornstein of the Athletic.

The Athletic report that Bellerin is set to take a pay cut in order to facilitate the move back to his homeland as final details regarding personal terms are now being worked out.

Bellerin has fallen out of favour at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta only handed the ace three appearances in the final 13 Premier League matches last season and he’s not had any outings for the Gunners this term.

The 26-year-old has been with Arsenal for a decade, having left the famed La Masia academy of Barcelona to embark on a journey with the Gunners.

The Athletic add that the right-back completed his medical in London ahead of flying to Spain, where Betis will await La Liga approval before they can finalise the transfer.

Hector Bellerin has completed medical ahead of proposed loan move to Real Betis. Deal now waiting on La Liga approval — if/when that arrives the 26yo Spain international right-back’s move from Arsenal (no option to buy) can be closed

Whilst Bellerin is headed for the exit door, on a loan that does include an option to buy, the Gunners are slated to strengthen their defence with the recruitment of Takehiro Tomiyasu today.

Tomiyasu could be a useful addition to Arteta’s side as the Japanese ace can feature at centre-back or right-back.

Arsenal seem in need of fresh options on the right of their defence following shaky displays from Calum Chambers and Cedric, Bellerin being dropped from the team and Ainsley Maitland-Niles now being cast away from the first-team, per John Cross of the Mirror.

Bellerin has made 239 appearances over his 10 years at Arsenal, winning the FA Cup three times, as well as landing a spot in the PFA Team of the Year for his displays in the 2015/16 season.

Arsenal anchorman Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Frenchman hasn’t played for Mikel Arteta’s side since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in June, during which he was involved in a fracas with Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfits Lorient back in 2018, having started his career in the academy of PSG. He has played 82 games for the North London club, however, has not been in the matchday squad this campaign. He featured regularly under head-coach Unai Emery in his debut campaign back in 2018-19, playing in 33 of the Gunners 38 Premier League games. He was also a regular fixture in the side for the first half of last campaign, however, featured far less following the appointment of Mikel Arteta back in December 2019. In the game at Brighton – the Gunners second following the post-lockdown restart – he had to be pulled away from Maupay during a confrontation between both sets of play

Why Debuchy is perfect replacement for Sagna at Arsenal

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him. Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt became a target as far back as January , while talks with Toulouse over Serge Aurier reached a very advanced stage . But as Debuchy makes his final preparations for life in north London, Wenger can be confident that he has secured a very profic
