Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has called out Jamaican world-record holder and nine-time Olympic king Usain Bolt to a sprint challenge. The right back is recorded as the fastest sprinter in the Premier League and it’s no secret that he is absolutely rapid.

Perhaps a little more rapid though, is Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who has won all there is to win in the field of sprinting – making him the fastest man to have ever lived. He set a 100m world record in 2009, clocking his sprint at 9.58 seconds.

However, Bellerin, who broke Theo Walcott’s 40m club sprint record last year setting a time of 4.42 seconds, says he wants to race the Jamaican – having asked Bolt several times for a 1v1.

Asked about a potential race between himself and Bolt, the Arsenal defender said: “It’s not me you have to ask, I’ve been waiting for that phone call from Jamaica. I challenged him a while ago and he said maybe after Rio. So I’m just waiting now, need to push him.”

The Spaniard played a key part in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night, and the 21-year-old says it shows what the team are made of.

“Definitely to make it further in the Champions League. I thought it was a great point because it wasn’t the greatest of starts,” he said.

“We’re very confident as a team, we’ve been together for a few seasons now. We’ve had some great additions to the team and there’s a lot of hunger and desire.”
