Arsenal are reportedly preparing the way for Hector Bellerin's return to Barcelona by readying a move to replace him with West Ham United left-back Sam Byram.
According to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb's Claudio Colla (via the Daily Star's Rhys Turrell), Arsenal fear they may lose Bellerin, 21, to former club Barca and Gunners manager Arsene Wenger sees Byram as a potential replacement.
Colla's report added that the Hammers will be unwilling to sell Byram, 22, having only signed him in January for £3.7 million on a four-and-a-half year deal from Leeds United.
