Jude Bellingham sparked excitement among Arsenal fans with a lighthearted comment that hinted at the possibility of joining the Gunners in the future.
The 21-year-old England international has risen to superstar status, becoming a key player for Real Madrid after his move from Borussia Dortmund last summer. In his debut season with Los Blancos, Bellingham delivered stunning performances, scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists to help secure both La Liga and Champions League titles.
While a departure from the Santiago Bernabéu seems unlikely anytime soon, Bellingham gave a glimmer of hope to a young Arsenal supporter during the international break.
As he signed autographs outside the training camp, the enthusiastic fan pleaded, “Come to Arsenal, Jude. Please. We will look after you.” With a laugh and a smile, Bellingham replied, “Maybe, yeah,” before posing for a photo.
Arsenal fans were quick to react on social media, with one pointing out, “Well, he didn’t say no,” and another jokingly adding, “Don’t give me hope, Jude.”
The playful interaction reignited dreams of seeing the former Birmingham City star in north London, a prospect the Gunners once hoped for when Bellingham was breaking through as a teenager. Back then, he chose Borussia Dortmund over other European giants, including Manchester United, to kickstart his meteoric rise.
