Barcelona chief Robert: Arsenal fullback Bellerin just magnificent

Barcelona chief Robert Fernandez has confirmed interest in re-signing Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin.

The La Liga giants have been linked with the Gunners star for months as they look to fill their problematic position.

Robert, when asked whether they wanted to sign a new right-back, told RAC1: “We can do something there. It's true. Signing [a right-back] could be now important.

“Well, Bellerin is a player who has a contract at Arsenal. He is a magnificent player, undoubtedly, but there are more right-backs [who could be interested]. Barcelona have the obligation to have many right-backs under control."

Sergio Roberto and Aleix Vidal have been used in the role this season following the loss of Dani Alves a year ago.
