Sol Campbell expects Arsenal to improve and become ‘slicker’ under Unai Emery
He has played every minute of Arsenal's season under new head coach Unai Emery so far, with the back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Chelsea followed by victories over West Ham and Cardiff.
But Bellerin's place is under threat with summer signing Stephan Lichsteiner yet to start for the North London club after joining from Juventus.
The Swiss full-back's only appearance came as an early substitute, replacing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the first-half of the City defeat.
Bellerin has made one assist this term, setting up Nacho Monreal in the West Ham win, as well as eight interceptions and 13 clearances as Arsenal's defence has come under heavy scrutiny.
And with a crossing accuracy of just 11 per cent, he will be desperate to apply the same concentration and pin-point accuracy he shows with sewing to his crossing on the pitch.
