Barcelona set Bellerin deadline to push for Arsenal exit

Barcelona have set Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin a deadline to push for a return to the Nou Camp.

El Mundo Deportivo says they have warned Bellerin they will move on to alternative targets unless significant progress is made in negotiations with Arsenal within the next 10 days.

Bellerin has been linked with a return to his former club for much of the summer. However, the next week and a half will be definitive in whether or not the deal goes through.

Bellerin is said to be desperate to seal a return to the Nou Camp, where he originally came to Arsenal's attention at the La Masia academy.

But the Daily Mail says Arsenal would be very reluctant to let the player leave, especially considering Arsene Wenger already looks set to lose several key men including Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez this summer.
