Crystal Palace join race for Jobe Bellingham! Oliver Glasner keen on Sunderland star as potential replacement for Eberechi Eze

Bellingham has had a memorable campaign in the Championship this time, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 40 league matches. He has played a key role in Sunderland finishing fourth and qualifying for the playoffs, which earned him the Championship's Young Player of the Season award.

The Black Cats star's impressive performances in the English second division have caught the eye of several top European clubs and according to TBR Football, Crystal Palace have also joined the race to sign the young midfielder. Oliver Glasner has started looking for potential replacements for star player Eberechi Eze, who has been linked with a move out of Selhurst Park this summer.

Sunderland are convinced that they will lose their star midfielder this summer. The only way they can hold on to Bellingham is if they can win promotion to the Premier League.

The 19-year-old will be back in action in the Championship playoffs on Friday as Sunderland take on Coventry City in the first leg of their semi-final fixture.
