Héctor Bellerín might be one of Arsenal's best players, but his passions and talents extend beyond football. He also happens to be an entrepreneur, environmentalist, fashion icon, and a philanthropist.
Now, in his latest endeavour, he's teamed up with EA Sports to become their Creative Director for FIFA 21's Volta mode.
Being able to design outfits & kits has been fun & I can’t wait for you all to play in them but also see & share the messaging within them.

Bellerín said he's "very excited" about the move, and that he's "been keeping busy" during the lockdown by "channeling [his] creativity into a purposeful direction."
"Being able to design outfits & kits has been fun," he added. "I can’t wait for you all to play in them but also see & share the messaging within them."

EA Sports introduced Volta mode in last year's FIFA title in an attempt to bring street football to the game. It was fun for a while, but in the long run, it left most players and fans feeling underwhelmed and disappointed.
They tried to tweak it throughout numerous patches, but it wasn't enough to keep the flame alive. Still, they've doubled down on it again this year, and hopefully, with Bellerín's assistance, they can build on it and make it better than before.

Bellerín's involvement in the game is fantastic news, but it's only one of his many pursuits, and it's less important compared to some of the others. He's took an active role in politics in the past, and he is currently helping plant tens of thousands of trees in the Amazon.
Either way, it's hard to find a football star with as many talents off the pitch as they have on. Héctor Bellerín certainly is one of them, and we can't wait to see what he'll bring to FIFA 21's Volta mode.
