Arsenal transfer theory emerges after Jude Bellingham spotted with Zinchenko

Jude Bellingham had enjoyed a superb start to his Real Madrid career and the England international was spotted talking with Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko after the Three Lions' game against Ukraine

The summer transfer window may be over but that has never stopped Arsenal supporters from conjuring up some interesting theories regarding potential new signings.

Rice, along with Arsenal teammates Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale and Eddie Nketiah, are all currently away with the England national team, who played Ukraine on Saturday - a match that ended 1-1. Gunners left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko scored the opener in the rather uneventful Euro 2024 qualifying fixture.

And after the game, the Ukraine captain was spotted conversing with Real Madrid starlet Jude Bellingham, with the pair sharing a laugh. Of course, this led to some Arsenal fans taking to social media, theorising that Zinchenko was attempting to recruit Bellingham to the north London outfit.

Here is what a select few supporters said on X (formerly known as Twitter).

@BilalArdale: "Jude Bellingham to Arsenal 2026. Let him get a few years of work experience at Real Madrid & we'll announce his grand return to England when he joins the Biggest Club in the Land. #Gunners."

@NovaHan33260833: "Yes Jude to Arsenal here we go 2030."

@Bibz_14: "Agent Zinchenko already trying to get Jude to Arsenal, that's my LB."

@ricenelli: "jude is too close with every arsenal player…"

@GunnersGalactic: "Zinny bringing Jude to Arsenal."

@TI_afc_: "Agent Zinny."
