Having netted 4 goals and provided 3 assists this season in the Championship for Sunderland, Bellingham has caught the eye of several top European clubs, including Real Madrid. His performances have solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in English football.

Arsenal Enter the Race

According to the BBC, the competition for Bellingham's signature is heating up, with Arsenal now emerging as a serious contender. The Gunners are reportedly keen to secure the services of the 19-year-old and Mikel Arteta is said to be a big admirer of the player.

Arsenal's strong interest in Bellingham is likely to make things more difficult for Real Madrid, who have been monitoring the player's progress for some time. The Spanish club has a long-standing reputation for developing young talent and Bellingham would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to their squad.

A Family Affair

Bellingham's older brother, Jude, has already made a name for himself in the Premier League with Borussia Dortmund and England. The younger Bellingham's performances have led many to draw comparisons between the two brothers. However, Jobe is determined to forge his own path in the game and has shown that he has the talent to do so.

What's Next for Bellingham?

With interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs, Bellingham has a big decision to make about his future. A move to a club like Real Madrid or Arsenal would undoubtedly accelerate his development and provide him with the opportunity to compete at the highest level. However, it is also important for him to choose a club where he feels he will be able to get regular first-team football.
