Arsenal were given a huge boost today as Hector Bellerin put pen to paper to sign a new contract with the club.

The right-back, who has gone from strength to strength since debuting in 2014, has committed his future by signing a new six-and-a-half-year deal worth £100,000-a-week.

It’s great news for Arsene Wenger, who can now concentrate getting new deals for both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil over the line. The Spaniard expressed his elation to have signed the long-term deal.

“I have been here a long time, I feel like this is my home and this is the right thing to do,” Bellerin said.

“I am very happy to still be a Gunner for many more years.”

It was widely rumoured that the 21-year-old rejected interest from Barcelona and Manchester City to extend his stay with The Gunners.

Bellerin is currently sidelined with a groin injury and will miss Arsenal’s next nine fixtures. However, just to tie us over in the mean time, we’ve picked out three of his best moments so far in his time at the Emirates…

Liverpool Strike (4 April 2015)

Bellerin scored a lovely opening goal against Liverpool in a 4-1 home victory over the Merseyside club.

The move started with Ozil (obviously), who played a cross field ball to Ramsey on the right. The Welshman gave it inside two an arriving Bellerin just outside the penalty area.

The Spaniard dipped a shoulder to cut inside against Moreno and curled the ball into the bottom corner past Mignolet.

The strike was the defender’s second league goal of three in what was a great day to be an Arsenal fan.

Bayern assist (Tuesday 20th October 2015)

After being knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich in two of the last three seasons, even die hard Gooners were forgiven for a lack of optimism when Arsenal drew Pep Guadiola’s team in 2015.

This time it was in the group stages in a home fixture which saw Arsenal come out on top. Olivier Giroud opened the scoring on 77 minutes for Wenger’s team, but it was Hector Bellerin’s run for the second which made the headlines.

The Spainiard intercepted a loose ball by David Alaba in the middle of the Bayern half, coasted down the right wing passed Thiago and crossed to Ozil who despite Neuer’s best efforts, tucked it home. It was a great show of speed and vision from Bellerin who was still in his own half when the pass was made.

Chelsea tackle recovery (Saturday 24th September 2016)

Arsenal dismantled Antonio Conte’s Chelsea at The Emirates in September in a 3-0 win over The Blues. The Gunners came out firing with Sanchez scoring the opening goal after 11 minutes. Bellerin set up Walcott for the second in a brilliantly worked move before Ozil sealed the victory before half-time.

The moment of the match came when Chelsea winger Pedro received the ball in the Arsenal half. The 29-year-old looked to be in the clear and bearing down for a shot on goal. However,  Bellerin showed an incredible burst of pace to not only catch his international teammate, but also make a last ditch tackle and prevent the chance.
