PSG are taking the first steps towards the signing of Hector Bellerin from Arsenal.

The rapid right back is someone who is very much wanted by Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.

However, The Independent reports the Gunners are reluctantly willing to sell him for the right price.

Arsenal want around £35 million for the 25-year-old, as it would help them balance the books and secure other signings.

PSG are speaking with the player's agent and will then negotiate with Arsenal.

The Parisians hope to secure a right back as it is a problem position within their squad, and Bellerin is emerging as the top target.
