Arsene Wenger praises Arsenal’s underappreciated stars Hector Bellerin and Francis Coquelin at Annual General Meeting

Arsene Wenger has expressed his pride at his current crop of Arsenal stars and picked out two players in particular.

Speaking at the club’s Annual General Meeting, the French boss reserved special praise for Francis Coquelin and Hector Bellerin.

French star Coquelin, 24, and Spaniard Bellerin, 20, have established themselves as Arsenal first XI regulars but Wenger believes that some people undervalue their contributions.

‘We are very proud of the players we bought,’ he said.

‘We are also proud of Coquelin and Bellerin and they don’t get the rewards they deserve.’
