As per a report published by Caught Offside, Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Sunderland attacking midfielder Jobe Bellingham. The former club could be making a move for the player in the summer if they have enough conviction.
The case of Jobe Bellingham
Jobe Bellingham appears to be the youngster brother of English international and Real Madrid star footballer Jude Bellingham. The former has shone at Sunderland in recent times and a bigger move should be on the cards.
Jobe is doing his work pretty effectively in the ongoing campaign so far. He has four goals and three assists under his hat in 29 games so far. He is averaging 1.9 tackles, 0.6 interceptions, and 2.2 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The 19-year-old has a profile similar to his brother but yet with different traits. He is more versatile in his abilities and can absorb pressure in the middle of the park. He is effective in both aspects of the game and is improving with each day passing.
Jobe Bellingham is ready for a big move
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealing with multiple injuries in the ongoing season. Though they have some good midfielders, they need to strengthen their unit. Hence, their interest in Jobe Bellingham somewhat makes sense.
Jobe is a talented kid and can be a star in making just like his elder brother. His versatility and high qualities make him an ideal target for the major clubs. He can be a good long-term investment for a club like Spurs.
While Jude is plying his trade in La Liga, the 19-year-old could be seen playing in the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur are evaluating the youngster’s performance and will take a call accordingly. Reportedly, Sunderland are open to selling the player should they get a reasonable valuation.
