Former Birmingham City starlet Jobe Bellingham could follow in his brother's footsteps and seal a move to Germany.

Borussia Dortmund, where Jude Bellingham elevated his name before joining Real Madrid in 2023, and reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are said to be keen on the younger Bellingham.

Jobe has scored four goals and assisted three more in 26 Championship appearances for Sunderland this season after a seven-goal haul last term. The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the biggest talents in the Championship and has put Sunderland in the promotion shake-up.

It is likely Jobe will finish this season at the Stadium of Light but top flight football awaits – and he might follow Jude’s lead by going abroad. According to The Sun, Dortmund and Leverkusen have sent scouts to watch Jobe this season.

The same report claims new England manager Thomas Tuchel is keeping tabs on Jobe and other top talents in the Championship.

It has been claimed that Blues will be entitled to a small percentage of the fee Sunderland eventually bank for Jobe, who is rated at around £20million. The Daily Mail says Blues inserted a 15 percent sell-on clause in the deal which took Jobe to Sunderland in 2023.
