Fans have come up with a bold transfer theory after Bukayo Saka sang the national anthem for another club on duty in England.
The Arsenal star has had an incredible Premier League season for the Gunners, helping them to second in the table with a career-high 14 goals. He also had 11 more assists.
Saka is an automatic choice for England following his performances at Arsenal in recent years and has been named in the squad to face Malta and North Macedonia in Euro 2024 qualifying.
The 21-year-old, who has just signed a new long-term contract with the Gunners, will make him the club's best player, starting in the 4-0 win over Malta on Friday. Advertisement
He was credited with the assist for an own goal in the eighth minute that put England ahead, although he had to be substituted at half-time.
After the game, Gareth Southgate confirmed the striker had been withdrawn as a precaution and would be fit to face North Macedonia.
And as the Three Lions prepare for this clash, Saka congratulated one of his international teammates on his recent transfer.

The player in question is none other than Jude Bellingham, who recently completed a move to Real Madrid for an initial fee of £88.5 million.
Seeing Bellingham, Saka was caught in a UK-released video singing part of Real's national anthem:
"Madrid, Hala Madrid, Y nada mas [Madrid, Hello Madrid, And nothing else]."

With Saka recently committing his long-term future to Arsenal, chances are his performance was a way to celebrate Bellingham's move to Real. But the fact that he recited the national anthem has fans thinking about his next potential destination should he leave Arsenal in the future.
Taking to Twitter, one real fan said:
"Arsenal fans are not ready to give this Ornstein exclusive on Real Madrid's advanced negotiations with Arsenal for Saka's tweet."

Another added:
"Playing for Real Madrid is every player's dream."
The third said:
"If we heard about the link between Bukayo Saka and Madrid, I wouldn't be surprised."
And the fourth wrote:
"In 2024, Saka, we'll take you out of Arsenal. Sign Marquee."
