During that period, he helped the north Londoners win three FA Cups and three community shields.
He was yet to feature for the Gunners since the start of the new season, missing all three opening fixtures of the Premier League.

Bellerin's departure from the Emirates was marked with the arrival of Bologna defender Tahekiro Tomiyasu.
