SUNDERLAND star Jobe Bellingham is being chased by two German giants.
Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen sent scouts to watch the midfielder, 19, in the Championship promotion-chasers’ win at Derby on Tuesday.

GettyJobe has put in some amazing performances for Sunderland[/caption]
Dortmund helped catapult big brother Jude, 21, to superstar status with Real Madrid and England.
The Bundesliga club want to make it a family double with top spy Bastian Schulz at Pride Park to see Jobe in action.
But title-chasing Leverkusen are also serious rivals and may offer a different route to stardom with scout Lukas Schmitz at the Rams clash, too.
Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen are flying high at home and abroad and would offer Jobe the chance to step out of global star Jude’s footsteps — which could appeal to the Black Cats dynamo.
Jobe moved to the Stadium of Light in 2023 for £3million and has already been linked with a string of Premier League sides and could move in this month’s window.
But the £20m-rated goalscoring midfielder would prefer to see out Sunderland’s bid for promotion to the top flight and then move in the summer.
Meanwhile, the new England boss Thomas Tuchel is prepared to look outside the Prem for new talent.
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich chief has already sent trusted No 2 Anthony Barry to see Jobe and his fellow Championship star James Trafford ahead of possible selection.

Barry went to watch Burnley keeper Trafford, 22, when he saved two late penalties against Sunderland last week.
And he is in contention for a senior Three Lions call-up — despite being relegated from the Prem with Clarets last year.

England Under-21 ace Jobe is also on the radar for the senior side despite having not played in the top flight.
Tuchel and Barry now plan to see as many rising stars as possible, even if that means going outside the main Premier League stage.
Alexander on The Traitors became a fan-favourite in this year’s series of the popular showErotemeBBCAlexander was banished before being able to nab a share of the prize fund[/caption]
BBCFans are keen to see Alexander pop up in other TV shows after his stint on The Traitors[/caption]
This came after an explosive episode that saw Traitor Charlotte booted out of the show before Alexander was banished, and Francesca was axed.
But it was Alexander’s banishing that really got fans riled up and angry.
Some fans were even quick to pen complaints to Ofcom – or so they claimed.
One viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a screen grab of an Ofcom complaint form.
In the reason for their complaint, they wrote: “They’re being mean to Alexander.”
Someone replied “so real” to the tweet, clearly in agreement.
Another person agreed with complaining to Ofcom when they joked: “Alexander I am sorry these people can’t be trusted, i am contacting ofcom.”
A second person echoed: “I’m writing to OFCOM about the banishment of Alexander and Frankie so that the HEINOUS Leanne and Jake could win.”
FANS ‘COMPLAIN’ TO OFCOM
“How do i complain to ofcom on alexander’s behalf?” asked a third.
While a fourth swooned over him, writing: “The kindest, most unluckiest player we’ve seen on The Traitors, you did the country well Alexander!”
And a fifth sweetly penned: “Poor Alexander. Proof again that the good guys don’t always win. Gutted on his behalf.”
Alexander fast became a favourite on the hit BBC show, with many fans and viewers growing fond of the former British diplomat.
ALEXANDER’S GRATITUDE
Speaking to The Mirror after his Traitors stint, Alexander expressed his gratitude for all of the support and love he has received since appearing on the show.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
“I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve had during this,” he said.
“It was quite an intense process because I got off the train and then came back into the game only two and a half weeks ago.
“It’s been made so much more enjoyable because of all the support out there and I’m enormously grateful for it, it really means a lot,” he said.
Elsewhere in his chat with the publication, Alexander revealed his relationship status amid increased interest in him from women online.
“I am still single… I’ll probably leave it there,” he told the outlet.

CORK have had their opening-day struggles in the past decade but they got their Division 2 campaign off on the right foot with a four-point victory against Meath.
This was an open, entertaining game played under the new rules, although these two produced an equally exciting 3-14 to 0-19 encounter in the equivalent fixture two years ago.
Neil Lordan of Cork in action during their win over Meath in the league openerCork’s win was entertaining in the game played under the new rules
Colm O’Rourke got his managerial term off to a winning start that day but Robbie Brennan’s inter-county debut went the other way as Cork grabbed the goals this time through Matty Taylor and Chris Óg Jones, who finished with 1-4.
Cork manager John Cleary said: “There are a lot more scores. Under the old rules, it is unlikely we would have had that many scores.
“It is more enjoyable to coach. And it is more enjoyable to watch. And the players are loving it as well. It is a win-win.”
He added: “This is the first time since I’ve been involved in the last four years that we’ve won the first game so there’s relief in that.”
While the Rebels executed the majority of their chances, Meath missed far too many opportunities.
Brennan said: “You look at the numbers and I think it was 11 scoreable frees we conceded and then we’ve missed 19 opportunities.
“Huge frustration in the dressing room because we came down to win and we feel we’ve left that one behind us.”
In terms of the new rules, Cork scored the only two-pointer of the first half from a free outside the 40-metre arc.
But their failure to keep three players beyond the halfway line saw them penalised with a 14-metre free to level 0-11 apiece at the break.
Meath committed the same offence after the break with Mark Cronin taking the option to move the free back outside the 40-metre arc for a successful two-pointer.
Both sides pushed their goalkeeper forward throughout to manufacture 12-on-11 situations in the opposition half.
Adventurous Meath stopper Billy Hogan collected a couple of assists and had three shots at the posts, scoring one when spinning between two tacklers.
The teams traded points through the first quarter with impressive kicks from Mathew Costello, who ended with 0-10, and Jack Flynn before a Seán Coffey solo-and-go led to a handpassed point from Jordan Morris.
Cork trailed by one but slingshot into the lead with new free-taker Brian O’Driscoll splitting the posts from a free outside the arc.
There was space left in behind by players defending the arc and both teams almost exposed it before the break.
The threatening Morris had a shot on goal saved by Micheál Aodh Martin and Colm O’Callaghan cracked the woodwork after a smart one-two.
Cork’s first goal arrived in the 41st minute with wing-backs Seán Powter and Taylor combining for the latter to chip into the far corner.
It was 1-13 to 0-13 but Meath levelled for a 10th time with quickfire points from Shane Walsh, new captain Eoghan Frayne, and Hogan.
Cork reeled off the next 1-5 without reply, with the goal in the 57th minute. Hogan saved Jones’ first effort but he netted the rebound for a 2-18 to 0-16 lead.
Costello attempted a pair of late two-point frees, including one brought outside the arc after sub-keeper Patrick Doyle took too long over a kick-out, and scored one, but they couldn’t get within touching distance.
CORK: MA Martin; M Shanley, D O’Mahony, N Lordan; S Powter, R Maguire, M Taylor 1-0; S Walsh, C O’Callaghan; P Walsh 0-1, E McSweeney, B O’Driscoll 0-6 (2f, 1tpf); M Cronin 0-7 (5f, 1tpf), C Óg Jones 1-4, S McDonnell.

2 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on Tottenham star Bergvall reveals he has no regret over snubbing Barcelona despite his side’s shoddy start to season
LUCAS BERGVALL reckons his rapid rise at injury-ravaged Tottenham shows he was right to snub Barcelona.
The Swede, 18, looked set to join the LaLiga giants last January but opted for North London at the eleventh hour.

PAAnge Postecoglou’s side have struggled greatly this season[/caption]
And one key reason for the change of heart was a feeling that his chances of getting game-time were higher at Spurs.
Bergvall officially moved from Djurgarden in July for £8.5million — and is set to make his 27th appearance of the season in today’s Premier League clash with Leicester.
He has started five of Spurs’ last six games, netting his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over Liverpool earlier this month, in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Bergvall said: “When I decided, I thought that Tottenham was the best club for me. It is a great club with good ambitions.
“I feel I am getting better every day. Training with all the boys and all the staff, I’m getting used to it.
“It’s not an easy change coming from the Swedish league.
“Everything is different. The running, the physical part… everything.”
There was a lot of excitement around Bergvall when he first arrived, particularly after rejecting a club as mighty as Barca.

His new team-mate Pape Matar Sarr added to the hype in August when asked which of the club’s summer signings had impressed him most.
The Senegal star — who is a doubt for today’s game — said: “Lucas. He is a really great player.
“I really love his style. He’s never under pressure when he’s on the ball. Technically, he’s fantastic. He’s bound to be one of the world’s top players. He’s got all the assets. With work, he’ll get to the very top.”
It was some appraisal from the 22-year-old and, in truth, it took a little bit of time for Bergvall to live up to it with some underwhelming early-season displays as he got to grips with his new environment.
In November’s 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray, for example, he was guilty of holding on to the ball too long in the lead-up to the Turkish hosts’ second goal.
But he kept racking up the substitute appearances and making the odd start here and there, learning, improving, adapting, before really kicking on over the last six weeks.
Bergvall’s breakthrough moment came against Liverpool when he netted the only goal to give Spurs a precious lead going into the second leg at Anfield a week on Thursday.
Since then, he has been a regular name in Postecoglou’s starting XI.
Spurs’ injury crisis boosted his chances of playing but there have times when he has been picked ahead of the likes of England star James Maddison purely on form.

Bergvall looked exhausted as he dropped to the turf at the end of Thursday’s crucial 3-2 win over Hoffenheim in the Europa League.
That victory means a top-eight spot and a path straight into the last 16, without having to worry about a pesky play-off next month, is within Spurs’ grasp, with Thursday’s final group game against Elfsborg to come.
But it was also a vital victory after a horror run of results which saw Spurs win just one of their last ten Premier League games, plummeting down the table and even sparking talk of the club finding themselves dragged into relegation scrap.
And Bergvall feels it is vital to take the boost in morale from Hoffenheim into today’s game against the struggling Foxes and rediscover get that winning feeling in the league once more.
Three points would also ease the considerable pressure on Aussie manager Postecoglou, who is facing a testing time midway through his second season at Tottenham.
Bergvall added: “It was an important game in Europe, we needed to win to keep going.
“For the confidence too, we’ve had a tough time in the last few weeks, so it was really important.
“It’s difficult. We have 11 or 12 fit senior players, maybe more, it’s a tough period. We just have to keep going and fight.
“Especially now in tough times, when we have a lot of injuries, everyone needs to perform.
“We have to keep going. We don’t have any other option. He’s the coach and of course we work for him.”
