As part of an annual tradition, Arsenal players and Arsene Wenger are donating a day’s wages to The Arsenal Foundation.

Arsenal will be also collecting money for the foundation in the build-up to Christmas, starting with the home clash against Newcastle at the Emirates on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech has helped publicise the collection after being filmed catching pennies and dropping them into buckets for donation.

Bellerin was alongside Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott during a recent visit to the Teenage Cancer Trust, one of the organisations supported by the club's foundation.

Earlier this year, defender Hector Bellerin handed over more than £19,000 to help the Grenfell Tower fire victims, while Arsenal raised over £1m for the same cause from the Community Shield clash with Chelsea at Wembley in August.
