Jobe began his career at Birmingham City, following in the footsteps of his brother Jude. He made his first-team debut in January 2022 at just 16 years old. Currently, the 18 year old is part of Sunderland’s squad which finished in 16th place in the Championship last season, recording 47 matches in all tournaments with 7 goals and 1 assist. Jobe moved to Sunderland last summer from his home club Birmingham in a €1.75 million deal.
Crystal Palace faces competition from other clubs, including Brentford, who are also keen on signing Jobe. The race to secure his signature is wide open, but Palace remains hopeful of bringing the young talent to Selhurst Park. Securing Bellingham’s signature would be a significant coup for Crystal Palace, as they look to bolster their squad with promising young talent.
