Sporting CP have signed Barcelona defender Hector Bellerin.

Bellerin has completed his move to Sporting CP to strengthen the right-back position at the Portuguese club following the departure of Pedro Porro to Tottenham.

Bellerín, who has only made seven official appearances for Barça after signing for free in the summer, failed to fit into Xavi's plans and is leaving the club earlier than expected.

Bellerín signs until the end of the season for the Portuguese side, which will leave him free in June to decide his future. The Lisbon club will pay a very low fee to Barça for the transfer, although higher than expected.

The full-back from Badalona arrived at Can Barça in the last transfer window. He was signed as a free agent from Arsenal.
