European and world 60m champion Richard Kilty has called bullshit on recent media claims that Hector Bellerin is quicker than Usain Bolt over 40m. The Spanish right back is said to be the fastest player at Arsenal, beating the 4.42 40m record of Theo Walcott. This time would apparently make him faster the 100m world record holder over the short distance.
Kilty does not believe this to be possible and so issued a £30,000 challenge to the two Arsenal players saying that he would race over any distance and at any time and place.
media claiming @HectorBellerin can run 4.42 over 40m. Absolutely no way. Are these journalists complete morons!

I will put £30,000 on the line to race @HectorBellerin & @theowalcott any sprint distance, any time, any place, anywhere

The race will be over very quick. So if they put their money down I will gladly show everyone they can not sprint as fast as the media claim
