Jobe Bellingham is an emerging English central midfielder.He has built a strong early career: progressing from Birmingham to Sunderland (where he earned youth player honors), and now making a major move to Germany.
Known for forging his own path and stepping out of his brother’s shadow.
Here’s a detailed comparison of Jobe Bellingham vs. his brother Jude Bellingham, focusing on playing style, position, development, and projection:
▪︎▪︎▪︎Style & Role
•Jude is a generational all-round midfielder: press-resistant, two-footed, dominant in build-up and box entries. Real Madrid use him in a free No. 10 role, where he scores and creates.
•Jobe is more physical and vertical in nature: a powerful carrier of the ball, thrives in counterattacking systems, and crashes the box. Think of a cross between Yaya Touré and a young Dele Alli.
▪︎▪︎▪︎Development & Ceiling
•Jude broke through at 16 for Birmingham, moved to Dortmund at 17, and became England’s midfield cornerstone by 20.
•Jobe’s path has been slower but steady — he wasn’t as dominant at 17, but he’s grown into a Premier League-ready midfielder and Dortmund see him as a major project, just like his brother.
▪︎▪︎▪︎Mentality & Identity
•Jobe refuses to ride his brother’s coattails—choosing to go by “Jobe” on kits, selecting different clubs (Sunderland, then Dortmund), and carving out his own reputation.
•Coaches praise his independence and competitiveness, not just his bloodline.
▪︎▪︎▪︎Projected Future
Jobe is expected to:
•Start regularly for Dortmund in the Bundesliga by 2026.
•Break into the England senior squad before age 22.
•Possibly move to a top-five club (Real Madrid rumors are already swirling).
Jobe Bellingham has agreed terms to leave Sunderland for Borussia Dortmund in a deal reported at around £31 million including add‑ons.
