Onew thing that we do know about the Spanish international right back Hector Bellerin is that he feels a lot of respect, gratitude and warmth for both Arsenal Football Club in general and Arsene Wenger in particular. So the chances of the fleet footed 22-year old doing what the Daily Star reports his former club are asking are pretty much non existent.
Not only did the Frenchman show great belief in the youngster when he brought him to the club in 2011 after he was deemed to be surplus to requirements at FC Barcelona, the boss also showed a lot of belief in Bellerin’s ability to play and handle the pressure of the Premier League when he was still a teenager.
Bellerin has been clear about his gratitude to Wenger and his happiness at being a Gunner on many occasions so for Barca to apparently ask him to sit down with his manager and demand a transfer is a bit optimistic from the Catalan club to say the least.
What it does tell me, though, is that Wenger and Arsenal are refusing to deal with Barca and that is great news for us for the season ahead and the future in general.
