Right Back: Hector Bellerin

Was their ever any doubt? Hector Belerin is the best right back in England and will therefore rank in as the starting right back on every single combined XI that we here at Pain in the Arsenal publish this season. If I’m feeling saucy, I may even skip over right back going forward, because you all know who goes there.

Anyway, Bellerin. He is coveted by Barcelona and Barcelona’s English extension, Manchester City. But his value to Arsenal makes him impossible to move. The man unseated the French National team’s starting right back with ease at the age of 19 and hasn’t turned back from that moment.

Everything about Bellerin’s play is glorious. His speed is untouchable, his attacking prowess is that of a winger while his defensive presence is that of a battle-hardened right back. With a little work on his crossing abilities, he could become a true Gunner legend.

Sorry, (insert any right back’s name) you have nothing on our young Spaniard.
