Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has the potential to develop into "the best right-back in the world", according to former Gunners full-back Lauren.
Bellerin, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona in 2011, has developed into a key first-team player for the London club over the last couple of seasons and signed a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium last month.
Lauren has called the Spain international "world class" and believes that the 21-year-old will eventually develop into the undisputed best right-back in the world of football.
"Hector is world class," Lauren told Arsenal Player. "He's still young and he still needs to work on some things, but he's a very, very good player and a very good right-back. If he carries on the way he's going, he can become the best right-back in the world."
It is understood that Bellerin turned down interest from Manchester City and former club Barcelona before penning a new long-term Arsenal deal in November.
