Hector Bellerin wants to win a major trophy at Barcelona following his deadline day return to Catalonia.
The Spanish international confirmed his intention to move back to Spain after spending the 2021/22 campaign out on loan at Real Betis from Arsenal.
The Gunners have been working on a deal to offload the popular full back following his decision not to sign a contract extension beyond 2023 in North London.
Following an agreement to terminate his Arsenal contract, Bellerin was involved in last minute talks to return to the Camp Nou, with a free transfer eventually agreed.

The 27-year-old came through Barcelona’s La Masia academy between 2003 and 2011 before opting to move to England as a teenager.
He is expected to play a key role for Barcelona in the coming months with US international Sergino Dest joining AC Milan on a season long loan in a whirlwind 48 hours in the transfer market.
“This was probably the year I least expected to return. But in the end it did and I’m really excited about coming home”, as per reports from Marca.
“You cannot compare the 16-year-old who left to the 27-year-old man who has returned. I am very grateful to Arsenal.
“I’ve come back here to compete for everything.”
