Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has praised summer signing Petr Cech for instilling confidence in the squad.

The veteran goalkeeper has played both of the Gunners' games in the Premier League this season following his arrival from champions Chelsea.

An unconvincing performance against West Ham United on the opening day of the season led to criticism for the Czech, but Bellerin believes that his experience will prove valuable to the rest of the players at the Emirates Stadium.

"The confidence that he gives you when he is in goal... he is a player who has lived a lot, he's won loads of trophies and is a legend of the Premier League so he has always got that piece of advice for you," the full-back told Sky Sports News.

Arsenal return to Premier League action on Monday when they host Liverpool.
