Arsenal’s recruiting staff reportedly admire Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, but it seems unlikely that they will be major players in this transfer battle with Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The England international has been a world-class player for Dortmund and also had a truly impressive World Cup, showing his quality on the biggest stage.
Arsenal have not been able to compete for players of this caliber of late, but The Athletic have now admitted that the recruitment figures inside the Emirates Stadium are much like Bellingham.
Still, even if the Gunners do qualify for the Champions League, it would still be difficult for them to get ahead of Liverpool and Real Madrid in the race for the 19-year-old, who would also cost somewhere in the region of €150m. , according to The Athletic.

Liverpool are in dire need of someone like Bellingham, so Reds fans will be relieved to know they remain a favorite for the teenager.
It’s been a difficult season at Anfield and Bellingham looks like the perfect long-term successor to Jordan Henderson, although Madrid would surely do well to replace the duo of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos as well.
