Hector Bellerin’s hair has been confusing Arsenal fans all season, with the right-back’s locks growing longer by the day, and the defender apparently in no mood to get it cut.

But his latest effort makes the man bun look positively trend-setting.

There have been rumours that Barcelona would like to buy their former player back from the north London club.

The question is: will they want him anymore?
