Jude Bellingham is undoubtedly a player any team would love to have.

The Real Madrid midfielder is one of the best players in the world these days, and before his move to Madrid last summer, there was a huge scramble for his signature.

Liverpool were desperate to sign Bellingham, while Arsenal were also linked with a move for Bellingham.

The England star ultimately ended up at Real Madrid where he has since become a Champions League winner, but he's bound to still have admirers across Europe.

Arsenal were urged to sign Bellingham when he was available, and now, the man himself has been told by a fan to come to Arsenal.

Jude Bellingham told to join Arsenal

In a video shared on TikTok by Mail Sport, Bellingham has been asked by an England supporter to join Arsenal.

The fan stated that Arsenal will take good care of Bellingham, but the midfielder wasn't giving much away here.

Indeed, Bellingham simply laughed off the suggestion that he should sign for the Gunners.

Bellingham is more than happy at Real Madrid right now as he continues to play a starring role for the European giants, but a return to England could beckon at some point as Bellingham is yet to kick a ball in the Premier League.

Jude Bellingham's record alongside Arsenal stars

Bellingham may not be an Arsenal player anytime soon, but we do get something of a taste of what Bellingham could look like in an Arsenal team when he plays for England.

Indeed, Bellingham has played plenty of football alongside two of Arsenal's best players – Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.

Interestingly, Bellingham's record alongside these two for England actually isn't that great.

England have won just 55% of their games in which Bellingham and Saka have both played, and that isn't a great record for any team looking to push at the top level.

In comparison, Arsenal won 74% of their league matches last season.

Of course, international football is different to club football, but this record isn't great, and it would suggest that Bellingham, Rice and Saka don't actually work all that well together.

Bellingham would be a great signing for any team, but perhaps Arsenal fans shouldn't be too disheartened by the fact they missed out on Bellingham last year.
