Arsenal eye Everton target as potential Hector Bellerin replacement amid PSG links

Hector Bellerin has invited criticism over his underwhelming performances recently. His future at Arsenal is in question as the Spaniard is contemplating on his future in North London. According to CBS Sports, Bellerin is considering Arsenal exit as he eager to test himself. The 25 year old has suitors across Europe with PSG ready to revive their interest in the Spaniard.

Apart from PSG, two Serie A clubs and Barcelona are also keeping an eye on Bellerin. Les Parisiens launched the failed transfer attempt last summer when they bid £25 million for the full back. Arsenal rejected their bid and held their valuation at £35 million. The Spaniard desired to leave the club who are undergoing a multidimensional rebuild under Mikel Arteta as he didn’t want to spend his prime where the pursuit for silverware was a distant dream.

Arsenal’s woes this season further raise questions over Bellerin’s future. Now with PSG and other European powerhouses willing to rekindle Bellerin’s transfer, Arsenal may have no other option but to let the 25 year old leave. The Gunners have prepared a potential two man shortlist to replace Bellerin.

According to Football.London, Arsenal have identified Max Aarons and Tariq Lamptey as replacements for Bellerin should the Spanish international leave in the upcoming transfer window. Norwich City right back, Aarons, is also an Everton target as the Toffees also explore options in the transfer market to strengthen the right back position.

Fabrizio Romano stated that Everton have Aarons on their list as Carlo Ancelotti wants to sign a right back in the upcoming transfer window. Seamus Coleman is running out of juice and will need to be replaced. The Irishman has shouldered the responsibilities of a leader and the first team right back for over a decade but now an heir to his throne needs to be found.

Everyone wants a piece of Max Aarons including Everton

Aarons is one of the hottest names generating a lot of interest in England and Europe. Barcelona tried to steal him last summer before the transfer collapsed and they signed Sergino Dest. Bayern Munich have been around since last summer and have in fact opened negotiations with Norwich. Manchester United also remain loosely linked to the 21 year old Englishman and now Arsenal have also joined the chase.

The competition for Aarons is fierce. In a short span of time, the Englishman has been successful in attracting some of the biggest clubs in world football. Sooner rather than later, Norwich will have to concede their prized asset to one of the clubs in the running. Everton have not been extremely proactive in the Aarons chase but things can pick up pace as we edge closer to the next transfer window.
