Chelsea and Real Madrid are among several top clubs tracking Sunderland starlet Jobe Bellingham, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal. 

The 18-year-old midfielder is considered to be one of the world’s most exciting young talents, putting in some impressive performances for the Black Cats.

Bellingham is the younger brother of Real Madrid and England star Jude and has made 21 appearances in the Championship this season, scoring four goals and making one assist in the process.

TEAMtalk can reveal that Real Madrid are among the sides keeping tabs on his situation and should he get close to matching his brother’s talent, will move to bring him to Spain. However, they face competition from clubs around Europe, including Chelsea.

The London side are keen to bring in the world’s best young talents as part of a long-term plan and have been continuously scouting Bellingham junior over the past two years.

There was even a dream to bring him and his brother to the club at one stage. Todd Boehly is a huge fan of Jude and was keen to lure him to Stamford Bridge. A double deal was even discussed before he ended up moving to Madrid.
