Jobe Bellingham transfer close to being agreed
Jude Bellingham's younger brother Jobe is set to leave Birmingham City this summer, sources have confirmed to 90min.
Jobe, also a midfielder, has been playing in the Blues' first-team since he was 16, the same age at which Jude made his sensational breakthrough in 2019.
The teenager has been linked with a number of foreign clubs, including his brother's current team Borussia Dortmund. However, the 17-year-old is now set for a move within the Championship with Sunderland close to agreeing a transfer for him.
Sunderland are well placed to land Bellingham, with Kristjaan Speakman and Mike Dodds at the club. Speakman is sporting director at Sunderland but was a former head of academy at St Andrew's, whilst Dodds was a Blues academy coach.

The chance to play regularly at Sunderland is understood to appeal and, having visited Wearside in recent weeks, Bellingham has now agreed to join the club this summer.
Birmingham and Sunderland are locked in talks over the exact transfer fee and a deal worth around £3m is close to completion.
It will mean that both Bellingham brothers will be moving in the same window, with Jude set to seal a transfer from Dortmund to Real Madrid at the end of the season.
