As success stories go, Jude Bellingham’s could hardly have been written more perfectly. The midfielder is one of the brightest players in his position in world football, a World Cup goal scorer for England and an icon at his boyhood club - all at the tender age of 19.
Plenty of chapters are still to be written, of course - but back in Birmingham there is another Bellingham ballad waiting to be told, where Jude’s younger brother Jobe is treading the same path.
17-year-old Jobe also rose through the ranks as a midfielder at Birmingham City to become a first-team squad member. Jobe is also a prominent England youth international. Jobe is also being tipped for stardom as a teenager.
