It was on June 1, 2024 that England Ace Bellingham, 21, celebrated the League League lifting with Real Madrid.

Jobe, 19, was in Wembley to see how Jude officially announced himself as a world -SUPERSTER – and the brothers celebrated together On the field afterwards.

But 358 days later it is the Sunderland star who now has the chance to become the first Bellingham that the Premier League.

Jude’s path from Birmingham City to Madrid via Dortmund is known up and down through the country.

Although it started in the same Brum Academy, Jobe does things differently.

And despite the difficulties to follow in the footsteps of his brother, he forges his own identity after a brilliant season on Wearside.

Tort Columnist Troy Deeney, who knows the Bellingham brothers from his time at St. Andrew’s, said: “Jowe will be on the biggest stage against a Premier League-worthy team in Sheffield United. Everyone will look at him.

“Perhaps this is Jowe’s chance to finally get out of the shadow of his brother. I hope he shows everyone what he is capable of.

“He is a top player, he will be a machine. I was on the play-off semi-final second stage at Coventry and as the game went, he became stronger, not weaker.

“They have this thing – Jower And Judge – Where it is time to dig in and explode them.

“He also adjusted his game a bit this year. He has become a bit more defensive.

“When he entered Birmingham, he was a no. 10, driving in the box. Now he is more a NR.

The talented teenager has been an important part of the promotional costs of the Black Cats, while playing in a new role.

Jowe, who left Birmingham for the Stadium of Light in 2023, was used as a false nine for the majority of his first season and scored seven times.

The statistics make back how he has one of the best midfielders in the Championship. With 47 opportunities created and 78 tackles won, he makes a difference on both ends of the field.

Although his four goals and three assists should not be sniffed, it is with every passing defensive version that he finds his home.

Jowe has made this term 221 recovery to add to the opportunities he has made, figures that emphasize how much of a box-to-box man he has become.

And this was never clearer than in the two-legged play-off semi-final triumph over Coventry with the eyes of the world on him.

He won six air duels, made 12 approvals and produced 11 defensive actions-including a great block to deny Haji Wright a late equalizer in the first legs.

Sunderland Legend Michael Bridges, a triple promotion winner at the club, said: “He has shown with the position change that he is an important player in what Regis Le Bris is trying to do, and we pick the benefits.

“Certain players have an aura of intimidation about them.

“I look at Jobe and think he has this presence and people are afraid of him because of his motorcycle and quality on the ball.

“He is the dream of a coach and manager because he has embraced it so much. The world is his oyster.

“I would not like to think that he will live in the shadow of his brother, but unfortunately that is the world in which we live.

‘We will ask if he can emulate Jude and who are we to say that he cannot do that?

“He has every occasion, as long as he stays free and concentrates on his game and off-the-field antics does not distract him.”

While his admirers continue to grow, it could even be argued that his attributes that Jude would perfectly supplement if they were ever in the middle of the park.

That can happen one day England But for the time being Jowe is looking for next month’s European Under-21s Championship.

Borussia Dortmund already has eyes on luring another Bellingham To bloom with them in Germany, while even more clubs on the continent will follow his displays in the coming weeks.

There seems to be an increasing feeling that whatever happens, the Wembley confrontation this weekend could be his last for Sunderland.

However, the black cats will hope that securing a return to the top flight can hold him for at least another season after eight years.

Even with Dortmund in pole position for the star of £ 25 million, the prospect of being the first Bellingham to blind in the Premier League can simply be too tempting to resist Jobe.
