Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter after noticing one very interesting thing during the 3-1 win over Olympiacos last night.
One supporter tweeted that they felt Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard were deliberately trying not to pass the ball to Hector Bellerin.
The fan said it seems like the young duo have lost faith in the Spaniard.
A number of Arsenal supporters agreed with the claim, which is a pretty worrying one, to say the least.
Admittedly, Bellerin is no Kieran Tierney, and doesn’t charge down the flank offering an overlap like he used to do.
There’s no denying that he’s lost a yard of pace since suffering that severe knee injury against Chelsea in 2019.
If Saka and Ødegaard really are choosing not to pass to Bellerin, then Mikel Arteta has an issue he needs to address.
In fairness, it seems like he’s aware that his No.2 isn’t suitable for this team in an attacking sense.
What makes us say that? Well, Arsenal have recently been linked with two absolutely rapid right-backs who love charging up the pitch.
The Telegraph revealed that the Gunners want Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi, who is officially quicker than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Elsewhere, the Mirror said that Arsenal want Brighton’s Tariq Lamptey as a potential replacement for Bellerin.
