Hector Bellerin is expecting to remain at Arsenal next season despite interest from Atletico Madrid.

football.london understands that the Spanish right-back, who is currently on holiday, has offered no indication to Arsenal that he would like to move on and is instead focused on his recovery from the knee injury that is set to sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Bellerin, who has four years left on his Arsenal contract, is settled in London and is a hugely popular figure among supporters and senior figures at the club. Though the 24-year-old has previously considered a return to Barcelona he has had no conversations over leaving the club this summer.

Atletico Madrid are in the market for a right-back and are understood to have Bellerin on their list of targets. They have also been linked with Napoli's Elseid Hysaj and Nelson Semedo of Barcelona.

Arsenal are yet to inform Bellerin, who is on holiday, of their plans for him next season and there is a slim possibility that the Gunners could opt to cash in on one of their most valuable assets, though that would appear to be highly unlikely.

It would certainly take a sizeable offer to force Arsenal to even consider selling Bellerin. They would not look favourably on Atletico's reported offer to swap 29-year-old winger Vitolo, who scored no goals and provided a solitary assist in 20 La Liga games last season.

Bellerin is held in high esteem by head coach Unai Emery, who made the right-back a key part of his attacking system before he suffered a season-ending injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee in a win over Chelsea in January. Though he has not suffered a setback Bellerin is expected to miss the early stages of next season.

Meanwhile Bellerin has been making the most of his time away from the pitch, modelling on the catwalk of a Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month.

"Don't let them tell you, it's not possible," he wrote on his Instagram feed. "Thank you to Virgil Abloh & Louis Vuitton for the opportunity."
