Jobe Bellingham has emerged as one of the hottest young players on the transfer market, with the Sunderland star a target for Arsenal, Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

FootballTransfers exclusively revealed that Bellingham, the younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude, is a target for Arsenal, with a gentleman’s agreement in place that will allow him to leave should a suitable offer come from a Premier League club.

The 19-year-old midfield prodigy, meanwhile, has clear ideas about where he sees himself playing in the future – and these seem to be inspired by Jude, who moved to Borussia Dortmund before joining Los Blancos.

Jobe Bellingham is ready to turn down offers from Arsenal, Man Utd and Crystal Palace to move abroad, according to a report from The Sun.

“Despite the major interest from English clubs in Jobe, it looks as though he could follow the same path as his sibling and look to join a top European club to play more games at a higher level,” it reports.

There is no indication of where Bellingham could move come the summer, with a January transfer not anticipated, although he has previously been linked with Borussia Dortmund.

How much is Jobe Bellingham worth?

Sunderland are set to demand in the region of €24 million (£20m) for the teenager.

Bellingham’s Estimated Transfer Value, meanwhile, is set at €14.1m, though his price has risen sharply since he arrived at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats also bought the youngster for a bargain price. They landed him for just €1.8m (£1.5m) from Birmingham City, with his ETV at that time hovering around the €5m mark.

Under contract until 2028, Sunderland are under no obligation to sell the box-to-box player, despite the interest of Premier League sides.

Regis Le Bris’ side, however, seem open to a deal due to their agreement with Bellingham and appeal unlikely to stand in the way of his progress while making a healthy profit on the player.
