"Barcelona have met with Arsenal to plan his transfer, which is a priority," Sport’s front page reads.

“Blaugrana are sure that the transfer could reach £35m due to the interest of other teams,” their report added,

Bellerin who is also being closely followed by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has become a highly rated right-back since breaking into the Arsenal first team during the 2014-15 season.

With a slew of interest in him, the 21-year-old defender signed a six-and-a-half-year deal with Arsenal in November 2016.

The new deal which guarantees him a weekly pay of £100,000 is until 2022.
