Chelsea are leading the race for 19 year old midfield maestro. The player is having a very good season and is looked upon by 5 other Premier League clubs.
The Blues are said to sign some midfield stars this summer. Earlier, they parted ways with Cesare Casadei. This summer they are said to sell Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka. This will open up space in the squad.
They currently have Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo as main midfielders. But the Blues are worried due to the injury issues of Romeo Lavia. In addition, Enzo Fernandez is looked upon by multiple clubs from Europe.
Chelsea leading the race for English prodigy
According to Caught Offside, Chelsea are leading the race for Jobe Bellingham. He is 19 years old and currently plays for Sunderland. The report states that the player is also looked upon by Man United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Brighton and Crystal Palace.
Sunderland are keen to keep Bellingham for long-term. But, they will feel powerless to reject offer from top clubs. They will try to keep hold of 19 year old if they get promoted to Premier League. But if they fail to do so, it will prove almost impossible to keep hold of Bellingham.
Jobe Bellingham is highly versatile which makes him a key asset. He can play as central midfielder, holding midfielder, attacking midfielder and even as a striker. He has established himself as a regular starter and is having a very good season right now.
Bellingham scored 7 goals and picked 1 assist in 47 games last season. He is playing in deeper parts of the pitch this season. So far he has scored 4 goals and picked 3 assists in 36 games this season. He is yet to make his debut for England national team but has played in various youth stages.
