The Bellingham Family: New Royalty in Football?
As we get closer to the January transfer window, plenty of rumours and speculation will surface, especially in connection with top teams. Premier League sides have already put plans in place for what is needed to strengthen their squad, but also keeping a watchful eye on developments of youth players elsewhere.
Jude Bellingham remains the shining light of English football, as he got on the scoresheet for Real Madrid at the weekend and remains La Liga’s top scorer this season. His big move in the summer has put the 18-year-old brother of Real Madrid star Jobe Bellingham into sharp focus.
The younger Bellingham brother seems to have taken the Championship by storm after signing for Sunderland over in the summer from Birmingham City. He might not have prolific numbers like his older sibling, but many believe he can have a similar impact.
Jobe managed to come off the bench for Sunderland against Bristol City and perform well. But, unfortunately, he could not help his side prevent a defeat. Clubs are already chasing the 18-year-old ahead of January or next summer, with Tottenham one of the early suitors.
The report also names Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool as potential suitors for the teenager. Observers from those clubs watched Jobe in action over the weekend and may have left with a lasting impression. Whether they accelerate their pursuit in January remains the question. But the 18-year-old has indeed shown signs of a promising future.
These sides are openly looking for younger talents on the brink of top-tier first-team football. For instance, Liverpool had a significant interest in Jude in the summer, only for the England international to choose Real Madrid over them and others.
Incidentally, Real Madrid also hold an interest in Jobe, and if that turns into a real approach, then we can have one of the most exciting sibling pairs in football playing together. However, this time, Premier League clubs will feel more optimistic about signing the Sunderland ace, something they failed to do with his older sibling.
A January move will seem highly unlikely in the present conditions, although these sides can make a significant approach in the summer. For all his talents, Jobe appears destined for the top level and might get a big move soon enough in his career.
