Hector Bellerin has been offered a new contract at Arsenal, according to reports.
Bellerin, who has been linked with moves to Bayern Munich as well as a return to boyhood club Barcelona, is one of Europe's most sought-after talents after an impressive two seasons with Arsenal.
Barcelona could be in the market for a new right-back, with Dani Alves being linked heavily with an exit from the Nou Camp, with Juventus supposedly interested, which would leave Aleix Vidal as Barca's only option at right-back.
He broke into the Arsenal team during the 2014-15 season due to injuries to Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal, and has since become the first choice right-back at the Emirates, becoming renowned for his impressive sprinting and dribbling ability.
And Arsenal are keen to ward off interest from Europe's biggest clubs by offering the young Spaniard a new improved deal, despite the 21-year-old signing a new contract in July last year. His latest deal expires in June 2019, but this latest extension could be worth around £ 80,000 a week, and is expected to be signed before pre-season .
Bellerin is currently training with Spain's Euro 2016 squad, after Dani Carvajal's injury in the Champions League final ruled him out of the summer's tournament, with Bellerin being called up as a replacement.
He impressed this season, being named in the PFA Team of the Year as Arsenal's sole representative, as the Gunners finished second in the Premier League. He made 36 appearances in the league this season, scoring once and creating five assists.
