Arsenal would be making a mistake if they agreed to sell Hector Bellerin, according to team-mate Santi Cazorla.

Right-back Bellerin is of interest to Manchester City and Barcelona but Arsene Wenger recently insisted the club will fight to keep him and offer him a new contract.

And Bellerin's fellow Spain international Cazorla, whose own contract at Arsenal expires next summer, has urged Arsenal to keep hold of the 21-year-old.

"For Arsenal it would be a mistake to let him go. It is obvious that many teams want him," Cazorla told IBTimes UK.

"There has been talk about Manchester City and Barcelona. He is a player with great potential and I am sure he will also be a key part of the future of the Spanish national team.

"We'll see [what happens with Hector]. You could see in the victory over Swansea how good he is. He was all over the place and never stopped running."
