What is the Arsenal vs Brighton team news?
Hector Bellerin is a major doubt for Arsenal – in what could be his final game for the club.
Bellerin, 26, has spent eight years with Arsenal but he is expected to leave the Emirates this summer.
Boss Mikel Arteta is planning a transfer exodus and Bellerin is one of the names on the chopping block.
The full-back wants a new challenge in Europe and Arteta is eager to let him leave and land a new right-back to fill his boots.
Arsenal hope to raise as much as £35million for a player who still has two years to run on his contract — but may be forced to slash their asking price.
Arteta was quizzed on his future ahead of the game with Brighton but remained tight-lipped on the situation.
Reported by Arsenal’s website, he said: “Hector is not fit [for Sunday] so he will not be playing the last time.
“Like everybody that has a contract, he remains here.”
Calum Chambers is likely to fill his spot with Arsenal still within a shout of finishing seventh and qualifying for the Europa League.
