Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin is hopeful of joining Barcelona.

Sport says Barca want to sign Bellerin, who is today attempting to negotiate a release from his Arsenal contract.

It's been suggested Arsenal have agreed to terminate Bellerin's contract should Barca make an offer.

While talks have been ongoing, Bellerin has continued to train with Arsenal's senior squad.

In recent days there has been talks between Barca chief Mateu Alemany and Bellerín's agent, Albert Botines, with the basis of a short-term deal already settled.
