Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of England star Jude Bellingham. However, they face strong competition from clubs in England, Germany, and Spain, and there is no indication they are leading the race at this stage.
Chelsea are looking to avoid repeating history after missing out on Jude Bellingham by pursuing his younger brother, Jobe, this summer. Former manager Frank Lampard had previously tried to bring Jude to Stamford Bridge, even meeting with his family, but the midfielder ultimately chose Borussia Dortmund for greater opportunities.
Now, Chelsea have registered interest in Jobe, a versatile 19-year-old midfielder excelling at Sunderland. While sources confirm Chelsea’s genuine interest, they are not yet considered frontrunners, with several top European clubs also tracking him. Despite Chelsea’s push, there is a strong possibility Jobe could follow a different path, just as his brother did.
