Speaking to the press before Arsenal’s showdown against Norwich City in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta was asked about the club’s transfer business this summer.
The topic of players leaving naturally came up and Hector Bellerin’s name was top of that list.
So why did the right-back want to leave?
“To find someone like Hector is not easy, he’s been raised here with us and is loved by everyone at the football club,” Arteta said.
