According to a recent Defensa Central article, Jobe Bellingham, a young player for Sunderland, is a target for Real Madrid. It’s been reported that Real Madrid is monitoring the English player’s development in case they decide to pursue a move in the future.
How Fast Bellingham Grew at Sunderland
Bellingham played for Birmingham City as a child, but he decided to go with Sunderland this past summer. With three goals and one assist in 17 appearances this season, the 18-year-old has performed admirably for his current squad.
The Stourbridge star has performed admirably in both halves, as evidenced by the fact that in the EFL Championship, he makes 1.2 tackles, 0.6 saves, 1.4 clearances, 1.4 shoots, 0.8 crucial passes, and 0.6 dribbles every ninety minutes. He has performed admirably when passing the ball in the other team’s half, as seen by his pass success percentage of 85.3% in the second division of English football (statistics from who scored).
Bellingham enjoys playing football for Sunderland, but if Real Madrid makes an offer the following season, he could want to move on. At the age of 18, he is still quite raw, therefore it will take time for him to demonstrate his full potential.
Are there good things in the future for Bellingham?
Bellingham can aid his team inside his own half by receiving the ball well and turning it over a couple times. He can only hit the ball from a distance, but he’s not scared to eliminate the threat when it materialises.
The English player can make rapid runs with the ball in the opposing team’s half and has exceptional field vision to set up some decent chances for his partners up top. Occasionally, he is requested to perform as a box-to-box player rather than an attacking midfielder.
Bellingham should strengthen and improve Real Madrid’s game-day squad. His ability is demonstrated by the fact that he can play for the first squad at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Bellingham is undoubtedly a player to watch in the future, therefore Real Madrid should strive hard to recruit him soon. Apart from that, he would make a fantastic long-term substitute for Madrid’s Luka Modric.
