Sunderland have been tipped to sell one of their most promising players for up to £15 million this summer.
Sunderland have found themselves swarming with young players this season, which has often been at fault for their dramatic decline.
The Black Cats reached the play-offs in the first season back in the Championship, but things haven’t gone quite as planned this time round.
With the likes of Danny Batth and Alex Pritchard leaving, the team’s lack of experience has proven to be a huge barrier for a very youthful side.
Kristjaan Speakman is likely to lead a very busy transfer window this summer, while he will also be looking to bring in the right manager after his disastrous appointment of Michael Beale in December.
While they will need to bring in some fresh faces, they also face losing a number of their prized assets such as Jack Clarke, Anthony Patterson and Dan Neil.
Sunderland can cash in on Jobe for £15m
The Black Cats will be desperate to keep hold of their biggest names, but they have actually been encouraged to sell one of their most exciting youngsters in Jobe Bellingham.
Speaking to Football League World, pundit Carlton Palmer said: “He’s had a fantastic season, he’s a huge talent. Sunderland paid £3million for him from Birmingham City last summer. So I think it’s a bit early for Jobe to go, but that’s the platform that Sunderland work with.
