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.
But one young Arsenal fans was delighted to hear that Bellingham isn’t ruling out the idea of signing for the North London outfit.
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”.
And much to the fan’s surprise, Bellingham kept his options open by simply replying: “Maybe”.
Of course, it’s unlikely that this is any kind of genuine admission that Bellingham is thinking about joining Mikel Arteta’s side.
But that didn’t stop Arsenal fans from losing their minds at the prospect of the 21-year-old lining up at the Emirates Stadium.
On social media, on wrote: “OH MY GOD PLEASE! I AM ON MY KNEES, PLEASE!!”.

While another added: “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 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 teammates this January though.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, the Gunners are eyeing a move for Turkish wonderkid Arda Guler.
