Jamie O’Hara has claimed that Arsenal should sell, Hector Bellerin, even though he has ‘loads of talent’ in his locker, as he told talkSPORT.

The Radio pundit shared that ‘five years ago’, Bellerin had something to his game, but he now thinks the 27-year-old has fallen by the wayside and should head for the exit door this summer.

Last season, with Takehiro Tomiyasu joining Arsenal, it allowed Bellerin to make a loan switch to his boyhood club, Real Betis.

The player enjoyed a fruitful spell in his home country, but they can’t afford a transfer fee to sign him, as a result, he is willing to forgo the rest of his Arsenal contract to return to Betis. – 12 months remain.

Whatever happens with the Spain international during the coming weeks, former Premier League midfielder O’Hara thinks he should leave.

“Get rid,” said O’Hara. “Does he even play anymore? Get rid of him. He was decent five years ago. Loads of talent, but Arsenal have moved on.”

SEVILLE OR LONDON?

Two great choices for Bellerin there, but it’s pretty clear that he wants a return to Seville in order to continue playing for Betis.

If Arsenal allow the player to rip up his contract, then it will be another sign of mis-management from the north London club.

From Willian to Nicolas Pepe, who is still on Arsenal’s books, the managers, coaches and those upstairs have to take full responsibility for how they have conducted deals over the years.

Last summer, there was much better business conducted by the club, as the likes of Aaron Ramsdale showcased with his performances and now he will be hoping for the next cab off the block.
