With another transfer window now open, claims that Jobe is also registering on Crystal Palace's radar. Any deal there would not come cheap, with Bellingham said to be carrying a £20 million ($25m) price tag.

Palace, though, do have history when it comes to prising talent out of the EFL. They splashed out £22m ($28m) when luring Adam Wharton away from Blackburn in January 2024 and have previously invested in the potential of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise – who were on the books at QPR and Reading respectively before heading to south London.
WHAT NEXT?
Jobe has recorded four goals and three assists through 23 appearances this season. He is helping to keep Sunderland in the hunt for promotion back into the Premier League – as they sit fourth in the Championship – and is tied to a contract through to the summer of 2028.
