According to reports in the 'Daily Mirror', both Jose Mourinho and Massimiliano Allegri are after Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin, with Arsenal apparently willing to cash-in on the Spanish defender.

Hector Bellerin has been at Arsenal since 2012, and has impressed for the 'Gunners' since stepping up to the first team in 2014. The Spaniard has played in all-but-one of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures this season, and has cemented his role in Arsene Wenger's team over the past few seasons.

However, according to 'Sportsmail', the defender has fallen out with his manager, and Arsene Wenger is willing to let him go in return for an injection of cash that could be used to bolster the North London side's squad in summer.

According to reports, Arsenal want £50million for Bellerin, and Arsenal's head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, will look to use the money gained from his sale to invest in a goalkeeper, a centre-back, and a holding midfielder.

And there is no shortage of demand for the 23-year-old, who is under contract at Arsenal until 2023. Manchester City attempted to sign Bellerin last summer, although with the arrival of alternative Kyle Walker it is uncertain whether they remain interested. 

The 'Daily Mail' reports that rivals Chelsea are after the Spaniard, as well as Manchester United and Juventus. Jose Mourinho has already said that he is looking for defenders in summer, and with Luke Shaw increasingly likely to leave Old Trafford, Bellerin could be his replacement.
