Arsenal man could terminate his deal to complete move to Spain
The Estonian goalkeeper had hoped that consistent minutes at Real Valladolid would strengthen his chances of claiming a more prominent role at the Emirates this summer. With Neto returning to Bournemouth following the conclusion of his loan, Hein may have anticipated the opportunity to become Arsenal’s second-choice option.
However, those expectations now appear to be in doubt. Arsenal have made the decision to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga, a move which strongly suggests that the club does not currently see Hein as ready to play a more active role in the senior squad. The arrival of an experienced goalkeeper such as Kepa is a clear statement of intent and places Hein further down the pecking order.
As a result, his future at Arsenal is now uncertain. While the young goalkeeper has shown promise, the limited opportunities at the Emirates may compel him to consider another move away from the club. Like many young players who find their path to first-team football blocked, Hein is reportedly evaluating his options for the upcoming campaign.

One club that has emerged as a potential destination is Sevilla. The Spanish side is understood to be interested in bringing Hein back to La Liga, where he has already demonstrated his capabilities. Their current financial situation is such that a permanent deal may be out of reach, but they are believed to be exploring the option of a loan.
In a further development, Vamos Mi Sevilla FC reports that the goalkeeper could mutually agree to terminate his contract with Arsenal, which would allow him to move to Spain as a free agent. While such a decision would be significant, it could also provide Hein with the fresh start he needs to relaunch his career.
Hein remains a talented prospect, but the presence of Kepa limits his chances of regular minutes in North London. Whether through a loan or permanent exit, it is increasingly likely that he will seek opportunities elsewhere this summer.
