'Take the Chains Off & Start Talking': Arsenal Hector Bellerin Speaks Out on Mental Health Issues

Arsenal's Hector Bellerin has come forward in support of tackling mental health issues within football this week, offering his support around World Mental Health Day on Wednesday.

"We must take the chains off and start talking."

Both willing and open to discuss serious matters beyond football, the Spanish full back is beginning to earn himself a reputation as a candid and competent speaker on matters outside of the beautiful game. Many Arsenal fans are beginning to appreciate that from the Catalan native.

Earlier this year, Bellerin featured as a guest for the Oxford Union - where he detailed his day-to-day life with refreshing honesty.
