Héctor Bellerín joined FC Barcelona after terminating his contract with Arsenal after a decade in North London.
Bellerín moved to Arsenal’s youth set-up in 2011 as a 16 year old. Since then, the defender over the past 10 years has made 183 appearances for Arsenal. Excluding loan moves to Watford and Real Betis.
During his time at the Emirates Héctor Bellerín has won three FA Cups and three FA Community Shields.
After petting ways with the Gunners, the defender has bid farewell to the club on social media. He posted, “Hello Gunners. Feels like it was only a couple of years ago when I touched down in London for the very first time. From day one I truly felt at home and I’ve said time and time again how this city has shaped me into who I am, and how much I owe it.
“It’s with a lot of sadness that today I say goodbye to this club. The fans, the staff, the players and our family all together.
“There’s been highs, so high, and lows, so low, but I’ve enjoyed thoroughly every single experience I’ve lived with you Gunners. It’s always been an honour to carry the weight of this badge and defend it almost 250 times in front of you all.
“I want to thank Arsene [Wenger], Francis [Cagigao], the late Steve Rowley, Steve Bould, Neil Banfield, Unai Emery, Freddie Ljungberg and Mikel [Arteta].
“With the sadness of a goodbye, but the excitement of a new beginning, I say to you all THANK YOU. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner.”
