He might just be the single best English speaking Spaniard I’ve ever heard. Not to mention he’s a class act

With Bellerin still recovering from a serious knee injury, supporters will be hoping he can return to the pitch as soon as possible.
The defender could be back in action for the start of next season, although the estimate of six to nine months recovery time could mean he is out for a while longer.
Since making his debut back 2013, Bellerin has gone on to make 181 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners.
He has been linked to a move back to Barcelona in previous seasons but he showed his commitment to the club by signing a six and a half year contract back in 2016.
