HECTOR BELLERIN made a cracking joke about Robin van Persie yesterday during his Facebook Live chat – but all anyone was talking about was his garish clobber.
Arsenal’s Spanish speed merchant rocked this blue camouflaged Puma number with matching ‘2-in-1’ shorts down London’s fashionable Carnaby Street.
Bellerin has become a cult hero over the last 18 months after breaking into the Gunners first-team to become one of the best right-backs in the Premier League.

Dutch striker Van Persie remains a pariah in north London after the way in which he left the club for rivals Manchester United in 2012.
After scoring 30 Premier League goals for the club in 2011-12, Van Persie left for Old Trafford, where he won the title in Sir Alex Ferguson’s last season in charge.
But Bellerin got in a little bit of payback during an interview.
The 21-year-old was doing a routine Q&A on Arsenal’s Facebook page when host Nicole Holliday asked him a question from a fan named VanItaliaPersie.

Rather than answer, Bellerin shot straight back: "By the way, I don't like that name".

Bellerin was speaking a the launch of Puma's new range. Fancy dressing just like him? The jacket will set you back £145 and the '2-in-1' shorts £55.
