There were doubts about what could happen with Hector Bellerin on his return to London after rejecting the options that the Arsenal He put him ahead this summer to go out for the price he wanted, around 10 kilos.
We are used to seeing discarded players in Spain that their coaches set aside as plague-ridden in preseason to force their departure. This same week we have seen it in Barcelona, where Xavi has given more ‘holidays’ to Oscar Mingueza, Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti -in addition to Riqui Puig, who ignored him-, since he does not have them in this campaign.
But England is another story and more so if you are a historic captain. Héctor Bellerin has been received by his colleagues as one more and not only that, but Mikel Artetathe technician who ‘discarded’ them a year ago, gave him the same stripes he had when he left for Heliopolis.
The former Betis side started as captain, wearing the armband, in the first pre-season game played a week ago against Ipswich (5-1); and this coming, Arteta once again lined up Bellerin to start in the friendly against German Nuremberg, in which Arsenal came from behind to win 3-5 in Germany.
The Catalan footballer follows his team, oblivious to rumors about him, enduring the pressures that come to him and waiting for the market to be clarified. The last ‘temptation’ has come from Villarreal and from a coach who already directed him at Arsenal (Unai Emery), but no further progress has been made on that interest for now.
August, month for Bellerín
Featured the Italian option and the Atletico Madrid, the other club they had offered, Bellerin and the Real Betis They wait for the month of August, when the ‘surplus’ players will move the most, to find the desired price. It could be the case that Bellerín started the Premier League with Arsenal on August 5 -against Crystal Palace- before leaving the entity. Already last year he was a substitute in the first league game against Brentford and then he would end up landing at Betis.
The verdiblanco club has no urgency for your arrival. The right-back position is covered by Sabaly and Martín Montoya, and he will be able to wait until the end to sign the return of his desired full-back.
