Hector Bellerin is not good enough for Arsenal any more and the Gunners should cash in on the right-back in the summer, John Barnes believes.
The Spaniard has been linked with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks and reports have suggested he could be willing to move to the French capital.

And Liverpool icon Barnes has brutally suggested Bellerin would only be good enough for PSG’s bench right now given his current form.
“When Hector Bellerin first came onto the scene, he was good enough to play at PSG, but now, I’m not sure, especially with their (PSG’s) ambitions,” Barnes told BonusCodeBets.
“In his position you don’t have to be the best in the world to play at PSG, but I’m not sure if they’re going to stay interested in him at the end of the season.
“If he (Bellerin) said he doesn’t want to stay at Arsenal, then they should let him go. The team should only be interested in players who want to play through both good and bad times.
“Bellerin is part of the reason as to why Arsenal is a club in transition and not currently playing well.

“Players always aspire to play in the best team in the world and win loads of trophies, but if everybody did that then all the best players would be at one club.”
Barnes added: “I wouldn’t want a player like Bellerin at my club.
“If your team isn’t performing well, you want players who want to help the team perform better not ones who talk about leaving mid-season when the team is going through a rough patch. He owes more to Arsenal than to do that.
“If he doesn’t want to spend the best years of his career on the bench, then moving to PSG doesn’t make sense because they have a higher average standard of defender.
“If he can’t always consistently start at Arsenal over the last few years, then he won’t be able to start at PSG.”
