Hector Bellerin eager to learn from new Arsenal signing Stephan Lichtsteiner

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has revealed that he is eager to learn from new arrival Stephan Lichtsteiner.

The Switzerland right-back joined the Premier League side from Juventus on a free transfer earlier this summer, becoming the first signing for new manager Unai Emery.

Lichtsteiner, 34, has won the Serie A title in each of the last seven seasons and was viewed as a veteran presence who can raise standards throughout the first team.

"I think it's a great addition to the squad," Bellerin told the Evening Standard. "He's a player with loads of top level experience and he can only help us.

"I can't wait to learn from him. I think he's a top defender, really solid and has a very good attacking sense as well.

"As a young player, it's good to have someone like that I can learn from."

Lichtsteiner joined his new teammates in training for the first time on Monday after his exploits with Switzerland at the 2018 World Cup.
