Chelsea have launched a major pursuit for 19-year-old Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham, intensifying their transfer strategy while competing with top Premier League rivals.
Fotnet24.net reveals a surge in transfer activity among the Blues. Jobe is the younger brother of Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham, a clear indicator of immense potential.
Jobe emerged from Birmingham City’s academy before joining Sunderland for a bargain £1.5m. He quickly became a vital force for the Black Cats and secured a contract until 2028 to underline his rising star status.
Premier League rivals circle the talented midfielder. Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund show keen interest, while Manchester United also monitor his progress closely.
Bellingham has been vital for Sunderland this season. He scored four goals and provided three assists in 34 Championship appearances. The Black Cats currently sit fourth and trail Sheffield United by eight points, which limits their automatic promotion chances.
Sunderland now brace for potential offers if promotion slips away. The club remains confident yet prepares for incoming bids, as Manchester United and teammate Chris Rigg add to the pressure. Meanwhile, 23-year-old midfielder Dan Neil attracts interest from clubs like Everton.
Chelsea boasts a rich history of signing promising young talent. The Blues now eye Bellingham as their next big investment and also track Feyenoord centre-back David Hancko with keen interest. Tottenham join the monitoring while Atletico Madrid and Juventus present stiff competition.
In another twist, Chelsea may challenge Paris Saint-Germain for Barcelona midfielder Gavi. The 20-year-old faces frustration at Camp Nou despite his recent contract extension. With an €80 million price tag, Gavi’s future remains uncertain amid fierce competition.
