Report: Tottenham are keeping tabs on Jude Bellingham’s little brother
According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on 18-year-old Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
Bellingham joined Sunderland from Birmingham City in the summer. He has played 17 times for the Black Cats across all competitions this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist (Transfermarkt).
The younger brother of Real Madrid sensation, Jude Bellingham, Premier League clubs will not want to miss out on Jobe like they did with his brother all those years ago. Understandably, Tottenham are interested.
The teenage midfielder joined Sunderland for an undisclosed fee on the same day that his brother joined Real Madrid. (BBC) Jude Bellingham is recognised as one of the best players in the world at the moment and Jobe will want to follow in his footsteps.
This isn’t the first time Tottenham have been linked with a move for Jobe. Back in January of this year, it was reported that Tottenham were keeping tabs on the player, then at Birmingham City, but a move did not materialise.
A lot of clubs are interested in Jobe Bellingham
Understandably, Tottenham are set to face competition in the race for Jobe Bellingham with the report claiming that many other Premier League clubs and Bundesliga teams are interested in the teenage sensation.
Bellingham has helped Sunderland climb to sixth in the Championship this season and the Black Cats look like genuine contenders to get promoted to the Premier League next year.
Spurs Web Opinion
There is a lot of hype surrounding Jobe Bellingham but much of it comes from the fact that he is Jude’s brother. Yes, the 18-year-old is talented but we must be careful when pursuing a move for him.
Sometimes, it is easy to get carried away by the hype and try to atone for the fact that we did not pursue a move for Jude Bellingham when we could.
If Jobe can keep proving his talent on the pitch and warrant a move based on footballing merit, we must not think twice before signing him as we would be landing one of the hottest prospects in the country.
