Spanish defender says he 'doesn't like that name' after answering a question from VanItaliaPersie

HECTOR BELLERIN has trolled former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie in hilarious fashion.

The Spaniard has become a cult hero over the last 18 months after breaking into the Gunners first-team to become one of the best right-backs in the Premier League.

Dutch striker Van Persie remains a pariah in north London after the way in which he left the club for rivals Manchester United in 2012.

After scoring 30 Premier League goals for the club in 2011-12, Van Persie left for Old Trafford, where he won the title in Sir Alex Ferguson's last season in charge.

But Bellerin got in a little bit of payback during an interview.

The 21-year-old was doing a routine Q&A on Arsenal's Facebook page when host Nicole Holliday asked him a question from a fan named VanItaliaPersie.

Rather than answer, Bellerin shot straight back: "By the way, I don't like that name".

Arsenal presenter Nicole Holliday burst into laughter, while comments on the video were clearly loving Bellerin's comments.

The right-back played during Arsenal's lucky draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

The Gunners earned an important point at the Parc des Princes through Alexis Sanchez, after Edinson Cavani missed a hat full of chances to finish the game.

Arsene Wenger's side next travel to Hull on Saturday.
