Barcelona right-back Hector Bellerin has claimed his former side Arsenal are now feeling the benefit of standing by manager Mikel Arteta after some turbulent periods at the Gunners' helm.
Bellerin called time on his own stay at the Emirates last summer after more than a decade in north London to return to Catalonia. Injuries undeniably curtailed what once promised to be an amazing career in an Arsenal shirt and the defender was slowly but surely phased out of the first-team fold under his former teammate Arteta.
Last season, the Spain international was loaned out to boyhood club Real Betis before his eventual Barcelona return, the same club Arsenal signed him from when he was just 16 years of age. The deal was only made possible by the Gunners agreeing to terminate his contract early.
