Jude Bellingham is one of the most well-known names in world football today. The Englishman has established himself as a great player, first at Borussia Dortmund and later at Real Madrid.
His debut season in Spain was magical, as he helped the team win both the La Liga and the Champions League. Meanwhile, his brother Jobe Bellingham has been honing his trade in England.
Indeed, having came through Birmingham City’s academy, the younger sister joined Sunderland in 2023 and has since shown to be an important player for the Black Cats. As a result, he’s been connected with a number of major teams ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window, including Manchester United and Crystal Palace, at various points in recent months.
Jobe, who had played 40 games in the Championship, began in the play-off semi-final victory over Coventry before returning to start in the final against Sheffield United at Wembley. His presentation sparked a lot of interest as well.
Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham shines as they are promoted to the Premier League.
Sheffield United took the lead in the 25th minute through Tyrese Campbell, and it wasn’t until the 76th minute that Eliezer Mayenda equalised, much against the run of play. Tom Watson then scored in the 95th minute, propelling the Black Cats into the Premier League.
All eyes were on Bellingham throughout, and the 19-year-old left many fans excited as he performed despite the pressure of playing in the ‘richest game in football’, with a place in the English top division on the line.
The adolescent played the entire 90 minutes and demonstrated remarkable ball control, completing 50 of 55 attempted passes, including one vital pass. He worked hard, winning one tackle and six out of eleven duels, and was involved in a lot of plays, with only five players getting more than 66 touches. Furthermore, only Daniel Ballard (7.9) had a higher SofaScore match rating among Sunderland players.
