Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has admitted that he was once "mad" with addiction to video game Call of Duty.

The 21-year-old revealed that he got into gaming when he moved to the London side as a teenager in 2011 and quickly became obsessed with the first-person shooter.

"It all started when I moved to London. I didn't have much to do because I didn't know much about the city and it used to get dark really quickly," the Spaniard told The Sun. "Some of my teammates in the Under-18s used to play Call of Duty and they told me I should jump on it.

"I have played it ever since, for my first one or two years I played it pretty much every day, I was mad about it. It was my get away after training. Now life has got a bit busier, and I don't have as much time as I used to, to play it. But when I've got some spare time with my friends, I'm always playing online with them. I'm still in love with it.

"It's a stress release for me. I don't get that much time to play, so when I'm with my mates, I usually only play CoD. There's not many other games I really play because I don't have the time, or I spend it doing other things."

Bellerin penned terms on a new six-year deal with the Gunners last month.
