The 18-year-old is Jude Bellingham’s younger brother and plays through the middle, like his sibling. He has been used as an attacking midfielder as well as a striker over the course of the season.
In 45 appearances in the Championship, Jobe Bellingham has scored seven goals and assisted one goal. He joined the Black Cats from Birmingham City in July 2023 for €1.75 million, but could be on the move just one year later.
Bellingham has represented England at various youth levels from U15 to U19, and has been rated quite highly given his age. A move to the Premier League would give him exposure to a much higher level of competition, while also giving him the opportunity to develop further.
