Chelsea ready to see off transfer competition to land Jude Bellingham's brother Jobe from Sunderland to avoid repeat of missing out on Real Madrid superstar

According to The Sun, Chelsea have entered the race to sign the Black Cats ace this summer but Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are already on his trail. The report adds the 19-year-old is likely to be sold this summer if Sunderland fail to achieve promotion to the Premier League.

Chelsea were in with a shot of signing Jude when he was still a teenager at Birmingham City but in the end, he moved to Dortmund and the rest is history. It seems the Blues are eager not to repeat their Bellingham mistake, this time with younger brother Jobe. The report adds Tottenham and Crystal Palace are interested in the Sunderland ace but Chelsea joining the race is now seen as a 'game changer'.

Since moving from Birmingham to Sunderland in 2023, Jobe has scored 11 goals and bagged four assists in 79 appearances. He has shown just how versatile he is; playing as a forward, in central midfield, defensive midfield, and attacking midfield.

Transfer speculation aside, Jobe is likely to feature for Sunderland on Tuesday at home to Preston North End.
