Arsene Wenger wants to keep Hector Bellerin at Arsenal
Bellerin has emerged as one of the best right-backs in Europe since making his Arsenal debut in 2013.
But the Spaniard has been linked with a move away from the Emirates in recent weeks, with both Barcelona and Manchester City reportedly interested in his services.
However Wenger has revealed he wants to extend the 21-year-old's Arsenal contract.
"He has nearly three years to go, we always try to get the players to the [financial] level where we think they deserve to be," Wenger said.
"We will try to extend his contract, his long-term future is here.
"He has been absolutely fantastic. His first game was a nightmare. The season before he was at Watford where he didn't play.
"His progress has been brilliant because he has absolutely top mental strength.
"He is at a team that meets his needs and values. He came at a very young age. He is an Arsenal player."
