He may have a long way to go with his football career but Hector Bellerin is already planning for life after the beautiful game.

The Arsenal full-back spoke to The Sunday Times ahead of today's North London derby, where it was revealed that the 21-year-old has enrolled in a course at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school in the United States.

The Times report that Bellerin is studying for a marketing diploma via an online course in which he has to watch his lectures, research the topics and be tested on them within two week periods. Impressively, Bellerin's marks are above 90% and he's already looking into the possibility of studying an accounting or business diploma.

Well played, Hector.
