Arsenal missed out on signing Jude Bellingham in 2020

Jude Bellingham has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs.

The English midfielder is widely expected to leave this summer even though his deal with Borussia Dortmund expires in the summer of 2025.

Both Liverpool and Real Madrid are frontrunners in signing the talented midfielder this summer.

His current employer Borussia Dortmund wants the 19-year-old to stay beyond this season and could make him the highest-paid player in their club’s history.

A lot of other clubs such as Manchester City and Manchester United will persuade the Englishman this summer.

When Bellingham broke into the Birmingham first team at the age of 16, Arsenal was apparently interested in signing the midfielder.

Former Arsenal scout Francis Cagigao reveals that the Gunners wanted to sign the midfielder.

He said to AS as quoted by 90mins: “I saw him for the first time when he was 16 years old.

“I wanted to sign him for Arsenal, but he was already too expensive.

“He is very good. What is clear is that if a club has paid that amount [€120m] for Enzo [Fernandez], someone is also going to pay for Bellingham.”
