Arsenal fans have theorised on social media that Ben White could be working to facilitate a move for Jude Bellingham to the Emirates Stadium in the future. It comes after the pair were pictured with one another as part of England's squad photo before they leave the country for the World Cup.
The tournament being hosted in Qatar during the winter compared to the summer has changed many things, such as the fixture schedule as clubs have to take a month-long break for the competition. For the Gunners, it remains to be seen if that will help or hinder their chances this season.
However, at this stage they sit top of the Premier League table and five points clear of Manchester City in second, showing that the early processes of Mikel Arteta's work are paying off. There are still some concerns over the depth of the squad though, with January a potential option to reinforce, while the summer offers another chance to add long-term targets.
