Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin believes that his game has benefited from operating as a winger earlier in his career.
Bellerin has often been trusted in the Gunners side by boss Arsene Wenger this season and he lined up for the club in yesterday's 0-0 draw against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
The Spaniard has consistently provided a threat going forward along with performing his defensive duties and he believes he is reaping the rewards of knowing what it is like to play further up the pitch.
Bellerin told his club's site: "As people know I used to be a winger before, so I like to get forward a lot.
"That’s probably the best thing about my game", the 20-year-old continued.

And Bellerin feels he did a good job helping in both defence and attack for Arsenal against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea yesterday.
"I just try to help the team at both ends of the pitch and I think I did that. It was a really big game, a really tough game."
In total Bellerin has made 15 appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal this season, scoring two goals in the process and providing his team-mates with a single assist.
The Spaniard is under contract to the Gunners until the summer of 2017.
