Hector Bellerin is in talks over a deadline day move away from Arsenal.
The right-back has spent the summer looking for a transfer, with the Gunners open to letting him leave after more than a decade at the club.
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been interested, but Bellerin is now closing in on a loan move to Real Betis for the season.
Arsenal have spent the the weekend looking at options for Bellerin, with Barcelona an option until Sunday when the Catalan giants opted not to pursue a move.
Betis have held a long-term interest in the 26-year-old throughout the summer, with Bellerin’s wages the biggest obstacle to the deal.
Discussions have been ongoing however, and Goal has been told both parties are now close to an agreement, although Betis are keen to offload a player first – most likely William Carvalho – to make space for the Spain international.
Should the deal go through before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline, it is expected to include an option for Betis to make the move permanent next summer.
