BVB star Brandt on Jobe Bellingham: A great talent!”

Jobe Bellingham's move to Borussia Dortmund is causing a stir in the football world. The 19-year-old midfielder, who previously worked for newly promoted Premier League side AFC Sunderland, now has the chance to get started in one of Europe's biggest leagues. Julian Brandt, his future teammate, sums it all up with a humorous remark: He hopes that Jobe will have an even more successful career than his brother Jude Bellingham, who now plays for Real Madrid. “Jobe is a good guy and comes from a great family,” said Brandt in an interview with the Main post.

Jobe Bellingham, born on September 23, 2005, has already had impressive stages in his young career. He made his debut for Birmingham City at just 16 years and 107 days, becoming the second youngest debutant in the club's history. After 22 appearances for the Blues, he moved to Sunderland, where he played 45 games last season and scored seven goals. This performance was crucial to the club's promotion to the Premier League, where he attracted attention with 4 goals and 3 assists. Expectations are high, but Brandt and BVB officials are optimistic that Jobe can master the challenge.

A family in football

The Bellinghams are not unknown in football. Jude has already made a name for himself in the industry, and now it's up to Jobe to fill his brother's shoes. Lars Ricken, the managing director of Borussia Dortmund, praised Jobe for his talent and maturity and sees great potential in him. In the past, Jobe has also been praised for his technical proficiency and game intelligence. Even his dueling average and passing accuracy were impressive in the Championship last season, with stats surpassing his brother's. While Jude Bellingham had a passing accuracy of 12.6% compared to Jobe in 2019/20, Jobe was able to raise the bar even higher.

Jobe has also opened the door to England's U21 national team, where he made his debut in November 2024. If everything goes well, the brothers could even meet at the FIFA Club World Cup if Dortmund and Real Madrid meet. Football fans can look forward to exciting duels!

A look into the future

Jobe Bellingham has established himself not only as a talent but also as an important player for Sunderland. He was instrumental in their promotion to the Premier League last season. His coach at AFC Sunderland, Régis Le Bris, emphasizes the importance of player development in his philosophy and sees Jobe as a key player for the future. It remains to be seen whether Dortmund can also benefit from this philosophy. The fact is that the entire football world is looking forward to the next steps of Jobe Bellingham, whose rise is far from over.

The Bellingham family has already laid a strong foundation in the football world. With Jobe on board, Borussia Dortmund shows that they have a good knack for talented newcomers. Now it's time to meet the high expectations and show that the younger Bellinghams can also play great. Have a successful time, Jobe!
