Hector Bellerin believes constant self-analysis is crucial if he is to reach the top level.

The Spanish teenager has made eight appearances for Arsenal this season, particularly impressing in the 4-1 victory over Newcastle United at the end of 2014.

"When Bacary was here, I used to look at his games and analyse him, because I think he was one of the best players we used to have on the pitch"

Bellerin is enjoying his time in the first-team squad and feels it is vital to learn from other players competing for his position.

“You know there are always players in front of and behind you, who are going to try to get your spot,” he told Arsenal Player. “The only thing you can do is learn from them.

“You know that if they are in front of you, it’s because they are better than you, so that means that they are something that you’re not doing right.

“When Bacary was here, I used to look at his games and analyse him, because I think he was one of the best players we used to have on the pitch. When Jenko or Calum play, it’s about analysing the things they do right and wrong.

“When I play my games, I need to analyse myself. I need to wait for my time - work hard every day and be patient, because that’s what it’s about."
