Bellingham turned down Newcastle’s advances. The teenager, who is the younger broth💎er of Rℱeal Madrid and England international midfielder Jude Bellingham, wanted✤ to play first-teaꦬm football and chose Sunderland instead.

The England Under-19 international midfielder has made 24 sta✤rts and one substit🧸ute appearance in the Championship for Sunderland so far this season.

Bellingham has scored four goals and given one assist in those games. Former Sunderland chairman and striker Niall Quinn has described him as a who “looks soꦆ comfortable playing the game, at such a young age”

My View: Newcastle United unlikely to be able to sign Jobe Bellingham

In my view, Newcastle Unite❀d are unlikely to be able🤪 to sign Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland in the January transfer window or in the summer of 2024.

I do not think that Sunderland will seꦉll one of their best young players to r𓃲ivals Newcastle.

Of course, we know that in football money talks, but with clubs such as and Tottenham Hotspur in the midfielder, Sunderland are♏ unlikely to entertain th🐲e idea of doing business with Newcastle.

Bellingham himself may not be too keen on moving to Newcastle straight after turning out for Su꧒nderland.
