Jobe Bellingham says Sunderland's pathway to the first team was behind his decision to make the move to the Stadium of Light. The 17-year-old's transfer has been confirmed today.
The Black Cats have announced that a deal has been reached with their Championship rivals Birmingham City and the midfield will complete the switch when he returns from international duty with England under 18s. The club have not announced how much they have paid for the player, but the deal is thought to be in the region of £3m.
The brother of Engand star Jude, who today signed for Real Madrid, followed in his footsteps by coming through the St Andrew's academy. He made his senior debut in January 2022 aged just 16 and featured regularly for the Blues throughout the 2022-23 campaign, making 22 appearances.
