With Barcelona and PSG chasing the defender, Arsenal star Hector Bellerin has reportedly reached an agreement to leave the Emirates Stadium outfit.
Reports have it that the 25-year-old was convinced to stay another year by manager Mikel Arteta after the player said he wanted to leave.
It was gathered that he had requested to leave the club last summer despite that he enjoys very cordial relationship with the team manager.
But former Liverpool star John Barnes has blasted the player saying he is one of the reasons the Gunners are not doing well in the English topflight. Barnes told BonusCodeBets, as per Soccer Laduma:
“If [Belleri]) said he doesn’t want to stay at Arsenal, then they should let him go. Bellerin is part of the reason as to why Arsenal is a club in transition and not currently playing well.
"If your team isn’t performing well, you want players who want to help the team perform better not ones who talk about leaving mid-season when the team is going through a rough patch."

Meanwhile, Thiago Silva will not be available for Thomas Tuchel when Chelsea host Manchester United at Old Trafford this weekend.
The Brazilian legend joined the Blues on a free transfer last summer and has scored twice in 17 Premier League appearances so far this campaign.
He picked up a muscle injury during their 1-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month and has continued to recover away from the rest of the team.
However, Legit.ng earlier reported that Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Bruno Fernandes could be demoralising Manchester United teammates with his 'perfectionist' attitude.
The midfielder joined the Red Devils in January 2020 from Sporting Lisbon and became an instant success at Old Trafford - helping them finish third last season in spite of their poor start.
He has scored 34 goals and 21 assists in 59 appearances across competitions - a performance that has won him four Premier League player of the month awards.
