Sunderland fans think Jobe’s future is sealed after ‘wonderful’ official footage
Jobe Bellingham’s future is the biggest talking point at Sunderland this summer.
With a return to the Premier League to look forward to, Sunderland have a huge summer ahead of them across several areas of the club.
First and foremost, recruitment at the Stadium of Light is going to play a deciding role in the success that the Black Cats achieve next season, though the future of those currently on Wearside will be just as important.
Several Sunderland stars have been linked with an exit, but fans are now growing optimistic that Jobe will not be one of them.
Jobe exit may not be as close as reported
Dan Neil is the latest to have been linked with a move away from Sunderland, but the main focus remains on Jobe and his future on Wearside.
Borussia Dortmund have held talks with the teenager, while interest from other Premier League clubs remains.
After reports emerged that the 19-year-old had flown out to Germany after the play-off final, many assumed that he had played his last game for the Black Cats.
However, a lot of the content on social media lately has been focused on Jobe, and fans think that the club are hinting towards something.
Premier League football may be enticing to Jobe
Had Sunderland failed in their promotion bid, Jobe would have almost certainly been out of the door by now, but the fact that they now have Premier League football to offer has changed things.
Given that he wants to forge his own career path and not follow that of his brother, playing in the Premier League would be the perfect way to do that, knowing that interest will remain even if things turn south for the Black Cats this season.
Jobe has everything in his skill set to thrive in the top flight, but whether he opts to choose that route is yet to be seen. Either way, his future is likely to be communicated in the next few weeks, and Sunderland supporters will be hoping for news that benefits them.
