Real Madrid president Florentino goes for Arsenal fullback Bellerin

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has identified Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin as a prime signing for the summer market.

Florentino is in the market for a fullback signing and values Bellerin's ability to play on both sides of the back four.

Don Balon says he plans to move for Bellerin, who turned down a return to Barcelona last summer.

To then move to Madrid 12 months later would anger many at La Masia - which is something Perez is well aware of and only adds to his determination to sign the defender.

For his part, Bellerin could be tempted to return to Spain after a public slanging match with a section of the Arsenal support over the past week.
