Jude Bellingham transfer announcement has made Arsenal and Edu's summer window even harder

Jude Bellingham's future appears to have been resolved even though the summer transfer window is yet to open.

The Borussia Dortmund youngster had been linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United but it seems Real Madrid have won the race to sign the talented England international. According to Marca, the Spanish giants are looking to finalise the remaining details which would see the 19-year-old sign a six-year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu.

While Arsenal were never firmly linked with the former Birmingham City man, many Gunners supporters remained optimistic a deal could be done given the north Londoners' resurgence under Mikel Arteta this campaign. But it now seems Bellingham won't be playing his football at the Emirates Stadium next season - or even in the Premier League for that matter - and the fact he has chosen Real Madrid over Arsenal's direct English rivals could pose a problem for Edu.
