Report: Arsenal want to sign 'unbelievable' 19-yo powerhouse in catastrophic blow for West Ham

West Ham United and Arsenal have been intrinsically linked throughout the January transfer window already.

Jobe Bellingham is now said to be on the radars of both West Ham and Arsenal.

And the 19-year-old Sunderland midfielder is the latest in a long line of players being linked with both clubs.

Arsenal are already trying to hijack the Hammers’ move to sign Evan Ferguson, whilst the Gunners and the Hammers are said to be chasing the signing of Randal Kolo Muani.

The Sunderland starlet has absolutely everything we need right now.

And if Arsenal beat us to his signature it will be a very big blow indeed.
