Crystal Palace Could Make a Move for Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham

The English Premier League club Crystal Palace are silently making their moves in the summer transfer window as they look to have grown interest in Jobe Bellingham. The high-profile forward currently plays for the EFL Championship club Sunderland. The Eagles are currently monitoring the situation of the little brother of Jude Bellingham.

The English youngster has already featured in the 45 Championship games last season. His contract length and transfer fee are yet to be disclosed by his current club, but the rumors say that he will stay at the Stadium of Light till 2029.

Crystal Palace, Brentford and Spurs are rumored to have grown keen interest in the player despite the chances of securing a deal do not look ideal. Sunderland seem to be reluctant to start any transfer talks as of now after just one year of signing Bellingham. According to transfer market valuation, the player might cost around €7.8 million. Jobe Bellingham joined Sunderland last year from Birmingham City.

Southampton interested in Sunderland forward Jack Clarke

The Saints have taken an interest in young winger Jack Clarke who is set to make a permanent move this summer. He had a breakout campaign with Sunderland last season scoring 15 goals in 40 appearances and attracting interest from a number of English clubs.

Despite his side falling to a 16th-place finish, Clarke enjoyed a stellar campaign on a personal level and has caught the attention of Premier League giants Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Southampton have been monitoring the 23-year-old winger but his valuation of £20 million is putting them off. Clarke has two years remaining on his contract at the Stadium of Light who has established himself as one of the brightest young talents in second tier of English football.
