Barcelona right-back Hector Bellerin has called on the club to take inspiration from Arsenal ’s patience towards Mikel Arteta in their approach with Xavi.
Arteta has been linked with a future job as boss at Camp Nou – where he spent a portion of his playing career at Barca's B team – after helping overturn the fortunes of the Gunners after two-and-a-half years in the role in north London.
Bellerin believes Arsenal’s patience with their young boss is the same approach that Barca – whom he joined after his contract at Arsenal was terminated this summer – must show towards Xavi in light of the club’s Champions League group-stage exit.
