Older brother Jude has proven to be a remarkably successful signing for Madrid since swapping Borussia Dortmund for the Spanish giants in a £88 million ($110m) move, scoring 16 goals in 19 games. The 20-year-old is one of the best players in the world right now and Madrid will, perhaps, hope Jobe will follow in his brother's footsteps and secure his services along the way.

Both Bellingham's came through Birmingham City's academy before moving on to pastures new. The Blues retired Jude's No. 22 shirt in appreciation for his contribution to the club when he signed for Dortmund in 2020.
