Jude Bellingham has sent a message regarding a move to Arsenal as a fan asks the question straight to his face.

The midfielder has been away on international duty during the break. He featured in both of England's fixtures against Greece and Ireland. The Real Madrid star bagged two assists against Ireland as the Three Lions battered them 5-0.

Before the match against the Boys in Green, the England players warmed up at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground. They were met with lots of supporters looking for autographs and photos. One of those supporters was Arsenal fan Mikey Poulli who wasn't afraid to tell the Real Madrid midfielder what he thought he should do.

"Come to Arsenal, Jude... please" Poulli said, to which Bellingham responded "Hehehe, maybe." The Gunners fan made sure to let the England international know that 'we'll look after you.'

The young fan is actually an England star himself. Poulli is a blind footballer, having lost his vision at a young age. A year later, he would be scouted by England and receive FA funding.

Bellingham isn't the first player the young-footballer has told to come to his beloved club. He had once asked Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold, to which the Scouser laughed and simply said, "I can't." This gives even more light to the looser response from Bellingham.

The Daily Mail had previously claimed that Arsenal were on the brink of signing the 21-year-old midfielder when he played for Birmingham U-14s. The deal was said to have cost £500k - a sum Arsenal were happy to pay. This seems like pocket change now ever since Bellingham moved to Madrid for 20 times that figure.
