Atletico Set To Offer Former Emery Player In Attempt To Land £50m Arsenal Star

Atletico Madrid will offer right winger Vitolo in their attempt to sign Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The 29-year-old played under Gunners boss Unai Emery for three years at Sevilla and Atletico are hoping it will tempt the London club into selling Bellerin.


The defender is currently out injured with a serious knee injury, and could even miss the start of next season.

However, Atletico manager Diego Simeone is looking to strengthen his options on the right-hand side and has identified Bellerin as his top target.

The right-back is rated at £50m by Arsenal, and it remains to be seen whether Emery would be tempted to cash in with Vitolo as part of the deal.

The winger has struggled since his arrival at Atletico, scoring just four goals and providing five assists in 51 appearances. He made just seven starts in all competitions under Simeone last campaign.
