Jobe Bellingham Earns England Call‑Up
Tap title to read story
Jobe Bellingham’s call‑up to the England senior side has been a long time coming.
The 21‑year‑old’s career path mirrors that of his 23‑year‑old brother Jude, England’s World Cup star and one of Real Madrid’s best players.
Both were Birmingham City academy stars before big‑money moves to the German Bundesliga and England call‑ups.
Jobe debuted for Birmingham at 16 years and 107 days, 69 days older than Jude’s first appearance.
He moved to Sunderland, helped them win promotion to the Premier League, then joined Borussia Dortmund at 19 in a deal worth up to £31 million.
England manager Thomas Tuchel said it is “a beautiful story” and that Jobe is here on his own merits.
