Deal Close – Arsenal to Agree $31.2million Star Deal

Arsenal have one of the best squads in the Premier League and Spanish international Hector Bellerin has quickly grown to become an important member of Wenger’s team.
The 21-year-old fullback has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona but the latest reports suggest that the Catalan giants have given up hope of securing his signature.
According to reports (The Sun via Sport), Bellerin is now close to finally sealing a new deal with the Gunners and will sign a new five year contract with Arsenal in the next one or two weeks.
Last season, the La Roja star featured in 44 games for the North London club, scored one goal and provided no fewer than eight assists. Solid at the back and effective in the attacking third, Bellerin is arguably the best right back in the league.
As reported by the Sun last month, the new five year deal is going to make Bellerin earn £96,000-a-week ($120,000-a-week, $31.2million in 5 years).
