FORMER Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin is set to complete his THIRD transfer in just NINE MONTHS as he prepares to return to Real Betis.
The Spanish right-back, 28, left the Emirates last summer after more than a decade with the club.
He played 239 times for the North London outfit, winning three FA Cups.
But his Arsenal exit began a tumultuous 12 months for Bellerin.
In September, he agreed to join Barcelona – who he left for Arsenal as a youth-team player.
And things did not turn out how he would have hoped at the Nou Camp.

Bellerin had totalled just 141 minutes by January and was shipped out of the club after just four months.
He signed for Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon where he made 13 appearances, scoring one goal.
But at the end of the season he was released as he searched for another new path.
And now Fabrizio Romano is reporting that he is “on the verge” of joining LaLiga side Real Betis – with parties simply “waiting for paperwork”.

Bellerin spent one season on loan with Betis during the 2021/22 campaign – prior to his permanent departure from Arsenal.
He played 32 games for the Spanish outfit, registering five assists.
And he could feature in the Europa League next season after Betis’ sixth-place finish in LaLiga saw them qualify for the competition.
