Hector Bellerin speaks on his Arsenal future

Bellerin refuses to rule out Arsenal exit

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has said that he is content at the Emirates Stadium but he has not refused to rule out a future move elsewhere.

The Spain international was one of the Gunners' leading performers during the 2015/16 campaign where he was eventually named in the PFA Team of the Year.

However, he has since not been able to produce consistent performances with a knee injury during the previous campaign hampering his transformation into a world-class full-back.

In an interview with Mr Porter, Bellerin stressed that he is happy in north London for the moment but could be urged to consider his position in the future.

He said: "I don't know what to say – football always changes. I'm so happy here. This has been my home for seven years. I sound like a Londoner, my friends are from London – it's the place I want to be right now. In the future, you never know."

Bellerin added that Barcelona remain in his heart despite leaving their academy more than six years ago and a return to Catalonia could be an option for the right-sided defender.

The Spaniard has made 45 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners this term, scoring three goals and creating a further five under Arsene Wenger.
