"I'm really, really excited for the new season. The way we finished this season, the team have really come together and we've had some great performances, especially since the New Year," Bellerin told the club's official website.

"The team really feel like we can beat any team in the world with the performances we've had, so we're all really, really excited to hopefully start the season with the right mindset and with the right results. Hopefully by the end of next season we can win some more trophies.

"We need to start with the confidence that we finished this season with. That's going to important for us, to keep pushing and start where we left off at the end of last season."

Bellerin scored twice in his 30 appearances for Arsenal last season.
