The1905.Club Summary

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.

Key Points

  • Chelsea are interested in signing 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland.
  • The club previously missed out on signing his brother, Jude, when he moved to Borussia Dortmund.
  • Jobe has played as a defensive, central, and attacking midfielder this season.
  • Chelsea face strong competition from top clubs in England, Germany, and Spain.
  • Sources confirm Chelsea’s interest but do not describe them as favourites to sign him yet.
  • Jobe’s decision remains open, with no clear indication of his preferred destination.
