Arsenal Transfer news: Arsenal is set to extends Hector Bellerin's Contract for two more years

Hector Bellerin is in discussions with Arsenal over a new contract, according to reports in Spain.

The 21-year-old defender had a breakthrough season in 2014/15 and has since gone on to make 73 appearances for the Gunners, becoming a key player for the north London outfit in the process.

Sport suggest that Richard Law, a member of Ivan Gazidis’ executive team at the Emirates, has been appointed the job of securing a new deal for the Catalan right-back.

Bellerin’s current contract at Arsenal expires in 2019 and the club are keen to extend this by two years.

It’s understood Barcelona, where Bellerin came through the ranks as a teen, have been monitoring the progress of Bellerin in recent weeks.

However, the youngster confirmed earlier this month that his intention was to remain at Arsenal for many years.

‘I am very happy at Arsenal,’ he said.

‘I renewed last year and have many years left. I am very happy. In football you can always spend a lot, but I’m in the Arsenal, giving everything for the club.

‘I do not think about going to anywhere else.’
