Jude isn’t the only brother making waves in the footballing world. His younger brother, Jobe Bellingham, is one of the top young prospects who could be making an entrance into the English Premier League beginning in the 20242-250 campaign. But, it all depends on their summer transfer window, the coach’s decisions, and player’s contracts moving forward.
If everything falls to plan, we could see that Jude Bellingham is in the top league in Spain with one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid, and Jobe Bellingham finally makes his mark on the EPL to a new English side that will give him more playing time. But what London club is the one who is going to make the move for this talented attacker?
Jode Bellingham Possible Move in the EPL
It must be tough being ‘in the shadow’ of one of the best footballers of his generation, Jude Bellingham. The young player earned the La Liga Player of the Year for Real Madrid and his midfield contributions helped them win the league and make it to the Champions League Final – and he is only 20 years old.
He beat out his teammate Vinicius Jr, and other huge stars to earn this coveted award. And to do so at such a young age shows just what a one-of-a-kind talent he is.
Therefore, being Jobe can be tricky – he is constantly compared to his brother and measured by his successes. And for someone who is a different player and person, that is an unfair comparison.
This season for Southampton, Jobe was constantly under pressure and criticism from fans, pundits, coaches, and other players. He worked hard, gave his best effort, and made errors – just as any other player does in the same league.
The fact that the Southampton season ended so poorly could also have been a detriment to his confidence and others’ opinion of Bellingham as the season came to a sad close. But, despite the constant critique and pressure that followed him every minute of the year, he displayed maturity and humbleness during interviews, interactions, and time on the pitch.

Palace Could Buy Bellingham
The most likely club to snatch up Bellingham to ‘save’ him from another year at Southampton is the South London club, Crystal Palace. Palace is looking to change their lineup and the way they play next year to become more of a threat in the Premier League -and bringing fresh new talent in can help shake things up and provide a much-needed energy injection into the squad at Selhurst Park.
In purely footballing terms, Bellingham going to Palace would just make sense. He won’t cost them that much money compared to other older players in the league, and it would be the ideal step up in his career. Plus, Palace is a team that is full of youthful and energetic players, so Jobe would fit in, while still providing a new dynamic that could make him a more regular starter.
But, is Bellingham ready to step up and be a 90-minute player for a team in the Premier League? If you ask a lot of pundits and coaches in the league, they would say no. But, since he is so mature at a young age, he could surprise us all. Stay tuned to see if Bellingham can fight his way into the starting 11 – and stay there.
