Bellerin, 27, arrives to strengthen Barça at right-back following the departure of Sergiño Dest, who joined AC Milan on a season-long loan.

He joins on a free transfer following 11 years with Arsenal, featuring loan spells with Watford and, last season, Betis.

Barça have agreed a one-year with the defender, who will arrive in the Catalan city on Thursday on a flight from London.
