Arsenal are preparing to sell Hector Bellerin this summer.

Gunners chiefs have given manager Mikel Arteta the green light to sign a new wing-back, a decision Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claims will pave the way for Bellerin to leave the Emirates.

He posted to social media: "Arsenal will sign a new RB but have never opened official talks for [Achraf] Hakimi as of today.

"[Tariq] Lamptey is not on top of the list. Bellerin's gonna leave the club."

Arsenal are said to have identified Inter Milan's Hakimi and Brighton's Lamptey as replacements for Bellerin.
