The 18-year-old, who completed his summer move from Birmingham City, is still in the early stages of his Sunderland career. Bellingham came up through the Birmingham academy before joining Sunderland earlier this year.

Even though Bellingham is being observed by the three Premier League giants, other teams are also keeping an eye on his progress. Spanish giants Real Madrid are also rumoured to be monitoring the young player's progress as they consider a possible move that would see Bellingham play beside his brother.
