JUDE BELLINGHAM has given Arsenal fans a glimmer of hope that he may line up for the Gunners one day.
The England superstar joined Read Madrid last summer for an initial £88.5m from Borussia Dortmund.
Los Blancos aren’t thinking about selling their midfield maestro after he scored 19 goals and provided six assists in 28 La Liga games last season.

While waiting to meet Bellingham at England’s training camp during the international break, one 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”.

Bellingham has previously revealed that he is hoping to spend his long-term future with Real Madrid.
Speaking last season, he said: “I want to stay at Real Madrid for the next 10-15 years of my life. This is where I want to be. I am loving it at Real.”
Arsenal may be looking to raid Real Madrid for one of Bellingham’s team-mates this January though.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the Gunners are eyeing a move for Turkish wonderkid Arda Guler.
