“Captain material” – Arsenal fans praise Bellerin following brilliant gesture

Hector Bellerin has always been a fan favourite at the Emirates, and Arsenal supporters have continued to heap praise on the right-back following his latest gesture.

The 24-year-old has been out of action since January after picking up a serious knee injury.

However, after featuring for the club’s Under-23 side against Wolves last Friday, the Spaniard is expected to make his senior return against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup tie on Tuesday.

His return to full fitness will come as a major boost to Unai Emery, but it was his latest off-field antics that left one Arsenal fan delighted.

As per @AFTVMedia, Cork City Women’s full-back Shaunagh McCarthy recently suffered an ACL injury, so Bellerin decided to send her a signed letter to lift her spirits.

These Arsenal supporters were quick to praise the defender, with some calling for the Spaniard to be considered as a future Gunners captain.

Emery looks likely to name his ‘five captains’ in the coming days, and it wouldn’t come as a surprise to us if Bellerin made that list.

He’s one of Arsenal’s longest-serving players in the squad and has always been popular in north London, and his latest gesture just shows the type of person he is.

The defender could turn out to be a key member of Emery’s side for the rest of the season as he continues to look for a solution to his defensive troubles.
