Ben Jacobs has claimed that Jude Bellingham’s advice to Jobe Bellingham over his Sunderland future is to be patient with his development as a player.
The midfielder has earned a lot of praise and attention for his performances in Régis Le Bris’ side in the Championship this season.
This has also led to speculation over his future, with Teamtalk reporting last week that there are as many as six Premier League sides keen on a move this summer, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Bellingham has a contract with Sunderland until the summer of 2028, meaning the club will be in no rush to cash in on the player this year unless their valuation is met.
Jacobs has reported that the older Bellingham brother has advised the 19-year-old to be patient with his development, citing Jude’s own wait before jumping in to a club like Real Madrid.
The journalist named Crystal Palace and Brentford as other potential suitors, but claimed the Sunderland star could be willing to wait on a switch to the top flight.
“There is Premier League interest in Jobe Bellingham,” said Jacobs, via GiveMeSport.
“Crystal Palace have already tried once, and they remain an active suitor.
“And Brentford are interested in Jobe Bellingham too, but it’s a little bit too early to tell whether or not he’s going to leave this summer, simply because, after he signed the new deal at Sunderland, contracting him until 2028, Jobe Bellingham was very keen not to rush his development.
“And actually, Jude Bellingham, his brother, made that point to him.
