So, what has David Seaman said about Tottenham Hotspur target Jobe Bellingham? Let’s take a look.
Praise for Tottenham Hotspur target Jobe Bellingham
Well, Sunderland will take on Newcastle United at the Stadium of Light in the third round of the FA 🅷Cup on Saturday afternoon.
The🥃 match is and will kick off at 12: 45 pm UK time. It is the first Tyne-Wear derby since March 2016.
Jobe Bellingham will start the match for Sunderland. The 18-year-old is one of the best midfielders in the lower leagues in England and has been superb for the Black Cats so far this ﷺseason.
Bellingham has made 24 starts and one substitute appearance in the Championship for Sunderland. He has sc෴ored four goals and given one assist in those matches.
Spurs have been linked with the teenager for ✱a while now. reported in January 2023 that Tottenham had extensive💫ly scouted him last season when he was at Birmingham City.

Bellingham moved to Sunderland in the summer of 2023, and reported in November 2023 that Spurs “are keeping close tabs” on him. Newcastle United are also interested.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper David🌞 Seaman has been impre♔ssed with the teenager and believes that he could showcase his quality to a wider audience today.
Seaman said about Bellingham on the : “Live on television, it’s a great chance. There is that attractio💛n because of his rather better known brother but ꦕit’s a great chance and an opportunity for him.
“I have seen little bits of🐻 him and he looks a quali🎃ty player. We are going to be seeing quite a bit of him later on but what a chance for him.”
My View: Tottenham Hotspur should continue to keep tabs on Jobe Bellingham
In my opinion, Tottenham Hotspur should follow Jobe Bellingham in action for Sunderland against Newcastle United in the FA⛎ Cup and should continue to monitor him this season.
Sunderland and Newcastle are massive💦 rivals, and it will be interest🔯ing to see how Bellingham does.
Bellingham is only 18 now, so we should not put too much pressure ܫon the teenager to perform well against Newcastꦇle.
Howev🧔er, if he does well, then it will show his mentality and mettle. His elder brother Jude Bellingham is only 20 now, but he is for arguably the b🍒iggest club in the world, Real Madrid. Jobe Bellingham could follow a similar trajectory.
Meanwhile, Seaman has picked Tottenham Hotspur star Guglielmo Vicario asꦫ one of the best goalkeepe🅘rs of the season so far.
Seaman said on the podcast: “I ꧒have looked at it and narrowed it down to two. Vicario and Martinez, who is having a great season.
“I was looking at it thinking they do a lot of stuff I don’t like. Camera saves with Vic👍ario and Martinez’s arrogance and unsporting-like behaviour but they a💛re still really, really good goalies.
“I don’t know why but for what he’s achieved Martinez is doing it. I know yo✅u might think that is a shock but there are certain bits about Vicario which I don’t like. I will leave it at that!”
