As per a report by Team Talk, Sunderland and Middlesborough have joined Liverpool and Man City in the race to sign Jobe Bellingham, the brother of Jude Bellingham.
However, an interesting detail suggests that he could reject the two Premier League giants for a transfer elsewhere.
It has been claimed by talkSPORT that Liverpool and City are interested in signing the Birmingham City wonderkid.
The report also mentioned that Newcastle United were also keen on signing the gifted midfielder.
However, the Mirror have reported that Jurgen Klopp’s side were leading the race to sign the 17-year-old.
While young Jobe is not touted quite as highly as his brother was at the same age, there is no denying that he is also a prodigious talent.
Making 11 appearances in the Championship this season for Birmingham City, the starlet is being blooded into senior football already.
If that does not speak volumes about his talent, what does?

Team Talk have claimed in a latest report that Sunderland and Middlesborough are also now interested in signing Jobe Bellingham, who has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Man City.
Furthermore, is stated that while there are also suitors for the youngster abroad, he is likely to join an English club.
Interestingly, it has also been reported that Jobe Bellingham is likely to join a club in north-east England.
Putting two and two together, that means the highly-rated midfielder could end up joining either Newcastle, Sunderland or Middlesborough sooner rather than later.
