Hector Bellerin has turned heads with his impressive rum of form thanks to the long-term injury layoffs that Mathieu Debuchy has been subjected to this season and the right-back is now reported to have caught the eyes of Barcelona.

According to Mirror, the Spanish giants are lining up a move for the 20-year old in a bid to replace outgoing Dani Alves as the Brazilian has reportedly turned down a 12-month extension to his contract.

The transfer looks imminent as the Spanish youth international recently refused to rule out the possibility of a return to his childhood club admitting that he does not know where he would ply his trade next season.

In the event of his staying fit, Mathieu Debuchy would be favoured over the Barcelona youth product as the former has gained undroppable status at the Emirates Stadium given his mammoth experience at the elite level.

Nascent return of Carl Jenkinson to the Arsenal dressing room further puts the stress on the competition that the trio is set to face next season for playing time.

Hector Bellerin joined the Gunners alongside Jon Toral from Camp Nou four years ago and has made a meteoric rise in prominence this season starting fifteen Premier League games for the Emirates Stadium club and netting twice.
