Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has pledged to donate £50 to the Grenfell Tower fire victims for every minute he plays during the U-21 European Championships. Bellerin is the latest in a number of athletes offering support in the wake of the apartment building fire that claimed at least 50 lives, possibly more, and left scores injured in London.
Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling, who grew up in London and started his career at Queen’s Park Rangers, pledged a significant donation as well.
As for Bellerin’s pledge, the Spaniard is an unquestioned starter for Albert Celades in the U-21 Euros.
