Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
The 19-year-old is highly rated across England, and the likes of Crystal Palace are also keen on securing his signature. According to Football Insider, the two London clubs have scouted the player multiple times, and they could make a move for him in the near future.
The report states that Sunderland could be under pressure to cash in on the player if they fail to secure promotion to the Premier League. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The 19-year-old has done quite well for the Black Cats this season and he has four goals and three assists to his name in all competitions. He has been described as a “powerful” player in the past.
The central midfielder will add goals and creativity to the side and Spurs could certainly use more quality and depth in that area of the pitch. Even though the 19-year-old is likely to cost a premium, he could justify the investment in the long term. Bellingham is still only 19 and he will improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for the north London club.
The 19-year-old could be excited about a potential step up to the Premier League. Joining Tottenham will be an exciting opportunity for him. They have an ambitious project and an exciting squad. They have done well to nurture talented young players in recent tears and they could groom the 19-year-old into a star.
Bellingham will want to compete at the highest level and a move to the English top flight would be ideal for him at this stage of his career. Regular football in the Premier League could accelerate development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
