What has Fabrizio Romano said about Bellerin?
Italian Journalist Romano claims that Arsenal will not accept a loan bid for Bellerin and nothing between the Spaniard and Inter Milan is advanced as it stands.

How many trophies has Bellerin won at Arsenal?
Bellerin has donned the Arsenal shirt since his arrival at the club in 2014. During a seven year spell, the right-back accrued six trophies for the Gunners.
The 26-year-old lifted three FA Cup titles and three Community Shields in his stint as an Arsenal player.
Bellerin's best season for Arsenal was in the 2015/16 Premier League campaign as he registered five assists and was included in the PFA Team of the Year that season.
Have Arsenal been linked with a right-back this summer?
Reports from The Athletic last month revealed that Arsenal are still pursuing targets at both left-back and right-back. The report suggests that the Gunners are interested in signing RB Leipzig's Tyler Adams, however the German outfit are reluctant to let him leave this summer.
Adams could be a strong addition to Mikel Arteta's side as his versatility was evident throughout the 2020/21 campaign. The 22-year-old featured as a right-back, right midfielder and as a central midfielder this season.
According to WhoScored, Adams played 27 games in the Bundesliga this term and he made 1.3 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per game. Based on his statistics, he could be a decent replacement for Bellerin this summer.
