2015-16 Premier League: Team of the season

Right-back – Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)

Bellerin is such a familiar face in the Arsenal squad these days that you forget he is only 20 years of age. The full-back broke into the first team towards the middle of the 2014/15 season after Mathieu Debuchy was injured.

Since then Debuchy has been loaned out and no other player has been able to knock Bellerin of the right back position. The young Spaniard is another product of Barcelona’s youth system and followed in the footsteps of fellow countryman Fabregas joining Arsenal in 2011.

Bellerin has been a consistent performer for the club and is quickly becoming a very mature player in that role. He has only missed two games in Arsenal's entire Premier League campaign playing the full 90 minutes every time he has started. Along with speed and pace the full-back also has an eye for a pass having notched up 5 assists in the Premier League this season.
