The Magpies are keen on one of their enemy’s key players, with the 18-year-old impressing since his arrival at the Stadium of Light.
The Magpies are interested in one of their opponents’ key players, who has impressed since his arrival at the Stadium of Light.
Not long ago, the 18-year-old failed to earn that much game time under John Eustace at Birmingham City, though the fact that he was in Eustace’s first-team plans was a significant accomplishment given his age.
Despite breaking into the senior squad at St Andrew’s, he chose to join the Black Cats, who spent a lot of money on young players during the summer window in their quest for long-term success.
Some of these young players have struggled to make an impact at the Stadium of Light, which is understandable given their inexperience, but the same cannot be said for Bellingham, who has quickly established himself as an important first-teamer.
Former manager Tony Mowbray gave him the chance to start regularly, and his successor Michael Beale has kept faith in the teenager, who represents England at the youth international level.
With four goals and one assist in 25 Championship appearances, he has done well considering his age and could have scored more often.
With all of this accomplished at the age of 18, he appears destined to follow in his brother’s footsteps and play at the highest level.
Jobe Bellingham has sparked interest.
He’s only been on Wearside for a few months, but teams are already showing an interest in him.
Newcastle, who were keen to bring him to St James’ Park before the Black Cats won the race, are thought to have retained an interest in the Englishman.
A deal for the Magpies may be difficult to complete because Kyril Louis-Dreyfus will not want to sell to his team’s main rivals.
Eddie Howe’s side are believed to be just one of several Premier League clubs interested in him, which isn’t surprising given Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in the attacking midfielder.
Real Madrid is also interested, but whether the Bellingham brothers will reunite in Madrid remains to be seen.
Sunderland must take a stand on Jobe Bellingham.
Bellingham now has the opportunity to show the interested parties why they have been so interested in him.
However, for the time being, he should concentrate on his football at the Stadium of Light and try to ignore the speculation that surrounds him.
The player is unlikely to be desperate to leave just a few months after joining, so the Black Cats can probably afford to be tough on him.
He shouldn’t be for sale because his value will only rise in the next year or two.
Selling him this month would be a bad idea because they could get more for his signature later.
