Chelsea are getting ready for the upcoming summer transfer window and might want to make some big changes in their squad to fight for the Premier League next season. They are likely to want to increase the depth of their midfield and make some quality signings in that area in the transfer window, as they have suffered quite a bit in this area with injuries so far this campaign. Romeo Lavia has been injured for an extended period, resulting in Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo playing almost every game.
Jobe Bellingham, a 19-year-old standout midfield talent, is the centre of attention of many clubs in the transfer market. Sunderland might lose their standout player if they don’t manage to get promoted to the Premier League in the next season. The youngster has shown his talent with his stellar performances in the EFL Championship in the ongoing season, and that has made him a wanted commodity in the transfer market.

Pete O’Rourke, in his exclusive report for Football Insider, has stated that Chelsea are in the race to sign Bellingham from Sunderland. However, they will face competition from Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace for his services. The Blues have always been a great place for young talents, and right now, it is no different.
Does this transfer make sense?
Bellingham can operate as a box-to-box midfielder or in a more advanced role. His physicality is a standout trait for him, with a strong frame that aids in winning duels and shielding the ball. The Englishman possesses excellent technical ability, which can be seen by his accurate passing and confident dribbling under pressure. His work rate and stamina allow him to cover the pitch effectively, while his composure shows that he has maturity despite his tender age. With sharp football intelligence, Jobe has a bright future ahead of him, which makes him a worthy signing for Chelsea.

The 19-year-old has scored four goals in 33 matches so far in the 2024/2025 Championship season. His total G/A (goals + assists) is seven for this season. Getting a player of his talent and potential can turn out to be a welcome signing for the Blues.
However, if he does sign for Chelsea, he will face huge competition within the team, and he might not get regular playing time right from the start. This will be a thing for him to consider at this age, as he would want to play more minutes to grow and develop in his career. So, it remains to be seen if Chelsea are successful in luring the younger Bellingham to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
