Moment Jude Bellingham gives Arsenal transfer hope after fan asks him to join Gunners
JUDE BELLINGHAM has given Arsenal fans a glimmer of hope that he will one day feature for the Gunners.
The England superstar joined Read Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for £88.5 million last summer.
Los Blancos are not considering selling their midfield maestro after he scored 19 goals and provided six assists in 28 La Liga games last season.
But one young Arsenal fan was delighted to hear that Bellingham has not ruled out the idea of signing for the north London team.
While waiting to meet Bellingham at England's training camp during the international break, a Gunners supporter tried his luck by asking Bellingham to sign for the club.
The youngster said: “Come to Arsenal, Jude, please. We will look after you”.
And much to the fan's surprise, Bellingham kept his options open by simply replying, “Maybe.”
Of course, Bellingham is unlikely to consider joining Mikel Arteta as things stand.
But that hasn't stopped Arsenal fans going crazy at the prospect of the 21-year-old lining up at the Emirates Stadium.
On social media, On wrote: “OH MY GOD PLEASE! I'M ON MY KNEES, PLEASE!!”.

While another said: “He didn't say no.”
A third commented: “That's enough to tell Mikel to break the bank.”
And a fourth posted: “I mean he didn't say no so…”
Bellingham has previously revealed he hopes to spend his long-term future at Real Madrid.
Last season he said: “I want to stay at Real Madrid for the next ten to fifteen years of my life. This is where I want to be. I love it at Real.”
Arsenal may want to raid Real Madrid for one of Bellingham's teammates in January.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the Gunners are eyeing a takeover for Turkish wonderkid Arda Guler.
