Jude Bellingham has become a worldwide sensation on the back of his commanding performances in midfield for England this World Cup. While people in England and Germany have witnessed his quality first-hand, the world has now sat up and taken notice of just how good the 19-year-old is.
He has been one of the driving forces of this English midfield and a key factor in England’s run to the quarterfinals of this tournament. Bellingham will have to be at his authoritative best when they face defending champions France in order to progress to the final four for the second straight time in the World Cup
The Story Involving An Arsenal Fan And Club Legend Gilberto Silva That Is Now Doing The Rounds On Social Media
However, he has been a wanted man in club football. And his performances in the tournament have done him no harm to find suitors in the upcoming transfer windows. Manchester United have had a perennial interest and even tried to sign him before, until he chose Dortmund.
They are always keeping an eye out on developments. Further, Liverpool seem to be very very interested in getting him to Anfield next season. “Agent Trent” recently made the headlines quite often due to the Liverpool right-backs close proximity with the 19-year-old.
And then there is defending European Champions Real Madrid. This is a side who have young midfielders stacked to the brim, and adding Bellingham to that mix would all but certainly ensure that their midfield will be on cruise control for the next decade. So the Bellingham sweepstakes are going on in full swing, with each club patiently waiting and watching before making their move.
But there could be another club who could just enter the race and make things just that much more interesting. It seems that Arsenal could just enter into the Bellingham arms race. This is after a rather interesting Twitter conversation between a fan and former an Arsenal legend and part of the “Invincibles” team of the 2003-04 season, regarding Jude Bellingham.
What Was The Tweet Sent Out By The Arsenal Legend Gilberto Silva Quite Recently And The Response He Got??
Taking to Twitter, Silva waxed lyrical about Bellingham and his masterful performance against Senegal in the Round of 16. He tweeted, “Jude Bellingham reminds me of someone” #WhatAPlayer. To this tweet, one arsenal fan cheekily remarked, saying, “Have a word with Edu”, which implied that Arsenal could yet be persuaded to make a move for the midfield metronome. Silva also appeared to agree with the fan by replying to him with a thumbs up emoji.

Whether or not Arsenal end up getting in the race for Bellingham remains to be seen. But it would be Arsenal as the favorites for landing him due to the current standings of both sides. Liverpool could have a problem if this happens. But for now, let us enjoy Bellingham light it up at the World Cup.
