Who is Jobe Bellingham? A number of people are keen to know more about the Rangers and Newcastle target as Liverpool lead the race.
It was the Mirror who claimed that Liverpool are frontrunners to sign the younger brother of Jude Bellingham.
Elsewhere, it was TEAMtalk who revealed that Rangers and Newcastle are also interested.
So, who is Jobe Bellingham? Let’s take a look…
Who is Jobe Bellingham?
Well, as aforesaid, Jobe is the younger brother of Borussia Dortmund and England star Jude Bellingham.
However, it would be doing the 17-year-old a disservice to continue mentioning his slightly older sibling, as the Birmingham No.27 is already an exceptional footballer in his own right.
Bellingham has already made 12 appearances in the Championship this season after rapidly rising through the youth ranks at the St Andrew’s Stadium, and made his debut for the Blues in a 1-0 FA Cup loss to Plymouth Argyle last term, at the age of just 16 years and 107 days.
In doing so, he became the second-youngest player in Birmingham’s history, behind Jude Bellingham, who made his debut at 16 years and 38 days.
Jobe has already made three appearances for the England Under-18 side as reward for his excellent progress at Birmingham, and seems set to make waves in football just like his brother.
An attacking midfielder with quick feet and an eye for goal, Birmingham’s latest wonderkid will surely be playing top-flight football in no time.
That could be with Birmingham, as the Blues find themselves just two points outside the Championship play-off positions as things stand.
Nevertheless, even if John Eustace fails to guide Birmingham to the Premier League this season, we are confident Bellingham will be there, or another top-flight division in Europe, very soon.
