Thomas Meunier\u2019s departure, and the apparent inexperience of French international <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/29c02c9f\/Colin-Dagba?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colin Dagba<\/a>, means that the French giants are in need of first-choice right-back.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of options in that department left centre-back <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/51dbeea9\/Thilo-Kehrer?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thilo Kehrer<\/a> with a tough night in the Champions League final.

Bellerin is Arsenal\u2019s vice-captain and, at 25 years old, is coming into his prime. The Gunners also only have one direct alternative in that position in <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/839c14e1\/Cedric-Soares?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cedric Soares<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e3a5814e\/Ainsley-Maitland-Niles?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ainsley Maitland-Niles<\/a> has also shown he can fill in at right-back, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/08\/23\/maitland-niles-targetted-by-wolves-and-newcastle\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">increasing speculation<\/a>\u00a0the Englishman&#8217;s future in North London, Arsenal may need to consider their options ahead of the season.<\/p>\n<p>There has been concerns over Bellerin&#8217;s ability to compete at the highest level after constant injury concern. But, the fact remains, he is one of the more experienced players in what is a young Arsenal dressing room. The 25-year-old may be given one last chance yet in an Arsenal shirt to play a permanent role in the Mikel Arteta project.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"Sfg0MN8fQmROtBpQP8dWRw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1263251861\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Sfg0MN8fQmROtBpQP8dWRw',sig:'yKvT4STKZVlwpBdx3ViHADNQ9v5I342nU47HXh_EctU=',w:'594px',h:'440px',items:'1263251861',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal\u2019s Hector Bellerin, has been offered to French giants Paris Saint-Germain, according to RMC Sport\u00a0and The Times.
