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.

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Image
Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
