Sunderland new boy Jobe Bellingham admits it's the right time to move on from boyhood club Birmingham City after signing a long-term deal at the Stadium of Light. The 17-year-old is one of the brightest young talents in English football and will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of older brother Jude - who recent signed for Real Madrid.
The pair were spotted in a Cleadon restaurant after Jobe had completed his move to Sunderland. It's a move that's been in the offing for some time, with the Black Cats hierarchy well aware of the talent the youngster possesses.
Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman and coaches Mike Dodds and Stuart English all worked at the Blues while the Bellingham brothers came through the academy set-up. The pair were invited to Sunderland's League One play-off final win at Wembley.
