Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham, who is making a considerable impression for the Championship club.
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly sent scouts to watch Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham. Despite joining Sunderland in the summer transfer window, Bellingham is already being linked with a move away from the North East
A recent report claimed that Real Madrid were assessing the youngster's capabilities after recruiting his older brother, Jude Bellingham, in the summer.
The England international has made a significant impact since arriving from Borussia Dortmund, having scored 13 goals and provided three assists in 14 competitive appearances.
While it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will pursue a future move for Bellingham's younger sibling, they are not the only club that are monitoring his progress.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are showing an interest in Bellingham after sending scouts to watch him in action.
The report states Tottenham have been keeping tabs on Bellingham since January when he was still playing for his boyhood club Birmingham City.
The 18-year-old predominantly plays in an advanced role behind the main striker, but he can also play as a typical central midfielder as well as a centre-forward.
After rising through the youth ranks at Birmingham, the teenager made 26 appearances for the first team before joining Sunderland ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
Since arriving in the North East, Bellingham has gone on to establish himself as a regular fixture in Tony Mowbray's side, having started all 16 Championship matches this term.
In Sunderland's final game before the international break, Bellingham scored in a 3-1 victory over his former side Birmingham, taking his tally to three goals for the season.
The attacking midfielder has also been recognised at England youth level, having featured in a number of age groups, including five appearances for the Under-19 side.
In addition to Real Madrid and Tottenham, Bellingham is also being closely watched by other Premier League sides and teams from the Bundesliga.
