#3 He's faster than Theo Walcott
Trending
Ever since he arrived at the club back in 2006, Theo Walcott has been the fastest player in North London. The Englishman broke the club speed record upon arrival, even quicker than Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. But alas, every record must meet its equal and every record-breaker must create his moment. Here's where Bellerin steps in.
Arsenal's standard measure of tracking speed has always been over 40 metres. The 40m distance is short enough to measure a player's acceleration but also long enough to assess a player's top speed.
Theo Walcott's record at 40 metres was 4.78 seconds but the Spaniard topped that with a 4.77 time back in 2015. However, reports now suggest that Bellerín has shaved that time down to an incredible 4.42, however, neither he or the club have confirmed this.
