Of all the talk about potential incomings in the coming transfer windows, little attention is being paid by Gooners to our impending midfield departures at the end of the season. I find it understandable that our focus will be on potential additions in the attacking third considering our limitations with personnel there however the midfield position needs to be taken into account as well. Jorginho and Thomas Partey will most likely depart the club on a free at the end of the season which will open up a void that will certainly warrant the signing of new players.
If the latest reports are anything to go by then a potion of this void will be filled by a superstar name. The increasingly reliable Con Harrison on X, recently claimed that Arsenal have been closely monitoring the progress of Jobe Bellingham this season, the Gunners have reportedly sent scouts to watch the 19-year-old in action for Sunderland this season ahead of a likely departure at the end of the campaign. Jobe, not to be confused with his similarly talented brother Jude Bellingham, has been with Black Cats since the summer of 2023 having moved from boyhood club Birmingham. His quite successful spell with Sunderland means he’ll likely depart at the end of the season according to reports which will be a big boost to our chances of landing him.
Jobe Bellingham, has long been touted to follow in the footsteps of his brother if not surpass him entirely due to his immense qualities. One of these qualities, according to the report above, is viewed as a key attribute by the Gunners with the attribute in particular being his ball carrying. Furthermore, his height of 6ft 3in makes him an aerial threat in both boxes which will obviously be an added bonus if he was to join.
He certainly would be a very good addition to the side however, everything concerning that lead is pointing towards a summer move as opposed to a move in this window. This will certainly be a rumour we should keep an eye on but for now, we only hold an interest in the player.
Thoughts on a “Bellingham” joining us Gooners?

Have we ever signed a player directly from the Championship?If not perhaps we need to ,as Villa did with Rodgers.
@Grandad
I’ve been thinking this for years. Even mentioned it a couple times, but was always shot down with many claiming they were not good enough . I myself would choose championship over foreign league players, thinking the latter are as closer than the former to being EPL ready. Just saying…
Morgan Rogers from Man C academy, only 6 months at Middlesbrough

Bring him. He’s good. Wenger passed Jude by as if he didn’t see where he was going to. I’m told he refused to pay 15M for him.
I understand they also want Damsgaard but my preferred choice is Paixao. He’s very productive though playing in the Netherlands.
Agree with both above comments. Edu and cohort haven’t shown much imagination with their recruitment.
I ought to mention Wharton who went from Blackburn to Palace and looks to have a great future.Another opportunity missed?
He would be a fantastic addition to the squad, he is a fine player, very talented and young.
