Rangers in hunt to sign Birmingham City sensation Jobe Bellingham
Rangers are among clubs keen to sign Birmingham City’s highly-rated youngster, Jobe Bellingham, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
The 17-year-old midfielder has already made 15 first-team appearances for Birmingham and he is being chased by a host of clubs including Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
A move away in the January transfer window is on the cards and Birmingham may have little choice but to listen to offers for the young prospect.
Talent
Jobe is the brother of England midfielder Jude Bellingham who was outstanding for the country during the World Cup in Qatar.
The youngster has 15 appearances to his name already, and eleven of those have come in the Championship this season.
His talent has not gone unnoticed and he is considered a “very good” prospect. Already clubs across Europe have looked at him, including Dortmund, but he could move to a British club instead.
The Championship club “appear vulnerable” to his sale and Rangers should make the most out of it. It won’t be easy to lure him away, especially with so many clubs vying for his signature.
However, Rangers can be an attractive destination for any young talent. Michael Beale should look to do everything to lure him to Ibrox, even if on a long-term loan deal.
It seems like the Bears have already started planning for the January window, and it would be a huge coup if they get Jobe ahead of other English clubs.
In other Rangers news, an out-of-court agreement could be reached for the Gers as documents have been submitted.
