Arsene Wenger has backed Arsenal transfer target Jude Bellingham to join Real Madrid over the summer as the 19-year-old weighs up his options ahead of increasing speculation regarding his future.
Having starred for England at the World Cup in Qatar it has been reported that Borussia Dortmund will hold out for over £120m in order to sign the midfield star. That would make him a Premier League record buy should he move, overtaking Enzo Fernandez's £106.8m deadline day deal taking him to Chelsea.
Arsenal are not expected to match bids up to that price but have expressed their interest in the player with Manchester City and Liverpool also keen on a move. Madrid, as the global attraction they continue to be, have a big advantage over the competition, Wenger believes.
