Real Betis star reveals Hector Bellerin wants to quit Arsenal to return as club considers CROWDFUNDING transfer | The Sun

ARSENAL star Hector Bellerin wants to move back to Real Betis, according to his former team-mate Borja Iglesias.

The right-back, 27, spent last season on loan at Betis – the club he supported as a boy.

And Bellerin seemingly wants to move back to Spain, where he made 23 La Liga appearances last season.

He is likely to act as back-up to Takehiro Tomiyasu at the Emirates this season and several clubs are interested in Bellerin, including Betis.

Iglesias is keen to reunite with the Spaniard and in an interview with Estadio Deportivo he said: “Yes, I miss Hector Bellerin.

“I’m thinking of doing the crowdfunding we said we would do to get him back.

"I come out of training and people ask me if Bellerin is coming, and they tell me that they are starting a piggy bank here to raise money.

“Bellerin really wants to come back. He has always said that he wants to play here, what happens is that he has been there for a long time at Arsenal.

"It is a complicated situation because he has a contract. I have always said it. I hope he is here as soon as possible because he gives us a lot inside and outside the locker room.”

Iglesias previously proposed the idea of crowdfunding a move for Bellerin on Twitter, but the Spanish side could instead sell Alex Moreno to fund the transfer.

Bellerin has been patient for a move and is still working hard in training despite reportedly having no intention to stay at Arsenal.

The defender has also attracted the attention of Jose Mourinho at Roma and is also believed to have held talks with Atletico Madrid about a transfer, which means his time could soon be up in north London.
