Jobe Bellingham Scout Report At Sunderland AFC 2024/2025

Jobe Bellingham is following in the footsteps of his older brother, Jude Bellingham , starting off in the EFL . Many eyes are on the youngster across Europe, looking to sweep him up and hope he will be just like Jude Bellingham in a few years. Born on September 23, 2005 and standing at 6 ft 3 , the midfielder has great physical potential to play many midfield roles. Currently, he plays for Sunderland and the England U21 national team. In this scout report , we'll examine some of his best strengths at SAFC, what makes him such a unique talent, and whether there are any similarities to his big brother, Jude Bellingham. We will also consider what clubs may be his best option for further developing his potential as a player. He has 35 appearances for Sunderland , four goals, three assists this season and a €22m market value. Jobe Bellingham Player Radar Chart Below is Jode Bellingham's radar chart for LDM players in Tiers 1, 2, and 3 of our in-house league ranking system this season. Jobe Bellingham’s radar map shows his dynamic, decent, well-rounded midfielder profile. Bellingham's attacking metrics stand out but could be better. His goal contribution per 90 (72.8 percentile) and expected goal contribution per 90 (60.95 percentile) demonstrate a consistent ability to contribute to goals through scoring and creating chances. The high percentile for shots per 90 (83.0) indicates his willingness to take on shots and pose a threat to the opposition's goal. His exceptional dribbles per 90 (94.9 percentile) highlight his ability to beat players in midfield and beyond. In comparison, his opponent's penalty area touches per 90 (89.8 percentile) emphasize his attacking threat and frequent presence in dangerous areas. In possession, Bellingham demonstrates solid involvement, though there are areas for improvement. His passes per 90 (62.7 percentile) and accurate passes percentage (61.5 percentile) show he is a reliable passer who can maintain possession and connect with teammates. Still, as a midfielder, these should be much higher. His progressive passes per 90 (49.1 percentile) and dangerous passes per 90 (35.5 percentile) indicate room for growth in his ability to break lines and create goal-scoring opportunities with his passing. Defensively, Bellingham’s contributions are lower than his offensive stats. His defensive duels per 90 (13.5 percentile) and defensive duels won percentage (47.4 percentile) suggest a lower involvement in defensive duels compared to other midfielders. However, his aerial duels per 90 (93.2 percentile) and aerial duels won percentage (68.6 percentile) indicate that he is heavily involved in aerial challenges. Overall, Bellingham’s radar map portrays him as an attack-minded midfielder who excels in dribbling, shooting, and contributing to goals but can improve his defensive metrics and goal-creating via passes. Jobe Bellingham Attacking Movement He has very similar movement in the box to his brother. He's a midfielder who can also make those plays in the penalty box. He has that attacking instinct of knowing where to be in the box at the right time. He's making those late runs into the box to find free space, showing his attacking instinct. Going towards the penalty box, he’s very comfortable in quick passing sequences, making 1-2s and mingling with the team's attacking sequences. He's very confident in receiving the ball and never shies away from it. He puts himself in half-space areas where he can make those turns into space or play 1-2 passes like the image above. In his attacking positioning and movement, he’s great at transitioning to increase his team's speed . He’s got great composure in the penalty box, combined with his significant skill. Not only does he find himself in the right space amid the chaos in the box, but he’s calm and takes his touch carefully. He sends the opponent flying in a slide tackle and gets his footing right for the goal. As a teenager, they usually panic in the box, but he’s got the composure to take his team even under pressure, press-resistant. Jobe Bellingham Midfield Passing In midfield, he is very mature. No selfishness puts his team at risk of running unnecessary risks. Near the build-up phase, you can see that he isn’t forcing a pass forward or over-dribbling. Simple side-to-side passing movements, keeping the ball flowing and maintaining possession. Usually, young players in crucial phases of their team's play overthink and overcommit with dribbles and touches and aren't calm, but Jobe Bellingham is. If he's not sitting in the box, scavenging players and looking for the goal, he's sitting in these areas, as seen above, looking to help control play and dictate the tempo. He’s taking this crucial role because if he loses the ball in this area, the counterattack will be on. He’s trusted with his technical ability and composure to be a key player in this zone of the pitch. Jobe Bellingham Defensive Actions Due to his physicality and height, he can already be a key player in the team, going long from the keeper or being the player to win the first ball if the other team sends it long. As we saw from his radar map before, he's not afraid to take to the air and engage in aerial duels. Because of those long legs, he can put in good tackles and challenges. He can wrap his legs around yours and poke the ball off you, a physical monster as well. Jobe Bellingham Dribbling Jobe Bellingham Dribble Into Pass pic.twitter.com/SZwVCn6rNL

Dribbling isn’t just about how quick you are with your foot movements and dropping shoulders but also about being able to create space for the pass. It’s not always about getting past two, three, or four players and going for goal, but about how you can separate yourself from your opponent to dribble and make space to release the ball then. And Jobe is great at that, as seen in the video above, using his body as a shield to create the pass off the dribble then. Jobe Bellingham Dribbling pic.twitter.com/wtY51gX9GV

One thing he has more than his brother is flair, and we can see it in his dribbling. He likes to do more extravagant skills, spin around passes, and more, but his tight space dribbling under pressure is impressive, which is also why he has so many touches in the opponent's penalty box. But the clip above shows how good he is in pressure situations to escape danger and release the ball. Jobe Bellingham Position - A 6, 8, or 10? It looks as though he’s better suited as a 10 right now. He’s got the physicality and defensive mind to be an 8, but he needs to be more confident and involved in defensive actions. When he puts a foot in, he’s very physical and great at it, but it’s a matter of how often he’s going to put his foot in. He looks like he could be better suited as an 8 later in his career and develop more of that part of his game, but he’s still only a teenager, so there are many years left to work on that side of things. The best way to unlock his full potential is similar to his older brother, and that's by being an 8. Jobe Bellingham's Next Club? His next club is crucial. Finding a club that isn’t at the top of European football will be very important. You want a club where he will get consistent minutes and play a crucial role, so nothing like the top 6 in England. Something overseas would be great. Below, we’ll examine 2 potential clubs that would be great for his development and improvement of his skills right now. Borussia Dortmund Intelligently enough, Borussia Dortmund would be excellent for his career, just like his older brother. And no, it’s not because Jude went there, but it's genuinely a club where young talents get minutes to shine and show who they are. In a club like this, he can get consistent minutes, play a crucial role, and be in a league where he can fit in and learn more. A perfect blend of high speed and defensive low block in Germany will help him develop the ability to learn against all kinds of opponents. Atlético Madrid Atletico Madrid may seem surprising to some, but I’ll explain why I believe this. Diego Simeone is one of the greatest managers ever in football history, and it's a myth that he can't bring the best out of attackers. Look at Fernando Torres , Falcao, Griezmann , Diego Forlan , even taking Marcos Llorente from right wing-back/midfield to a double-digit goal season. But what he’s great at is making defensive monsters and high-work-rate players. Jobe Bellingham has the attacking talent, and Diego must use it to the best of his ability. He could make Jobe a better defensive player and turn him into a proper 8. With Griezmann leaving soon, he can take that second striker role if needed, playing in a league like Spain, where we know a certain Bellingham who is having fun and tearing up the league. Conclusion In conclusion, Jobe Bellingham is just starting his career, and many clubs are noticing him as the next big talent. This time, they don’t want to miss out like they did the first time. He’s an exceptional number 10 who can develop into an all-around midfielder superstar. It will be interesting to see how his career plays out and where he takes his next move after Sunderland, but one thing seems inevitable: he is a very exciting talent.
