'I wouldn't want a player like Hector Bellerin': John Barnes gives brutal assessment of Arsenal right back amid PSG interest as he insists he wouldn't start for them because 'they have a higher average standard of defender'

John Barnes has insisted Arsenal right back Hector Bellerin wouldn't start for Paris Saint-Germain if he made the move to France.

The 25-year-old full back has been linked with a switch to the Ligue 1 giants following their interest in him last summer.

But former Liverpool winger Barnes gave a brutally honest assessment of the Gunners defender, stating that he 'wouldn't want a player like Bellerin' if he was a manager and that the defender would only be good enough for the substitutes' bench at PSG.

'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,' Barnes said when speaking to BonusCodeBets.
