Tottenham sought to recruit Jov Bellingham (Sunderland), born in 2005, younger brother of Jude Bellingham (21, Real Madrid), but it failed.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 8th (Korean time) 'Job Bellingham plans to stay in Sunderland for at least one more season despite the interest of several Premier League clubs'

Jove is recognized as the most outstanding talent in the Championship (Second Division). He moved his nest from Birmingham City to Sunderland last summer for just 3 million pounds (about 5.3 billion won).

The potential for the first season exploded. Jove scored seven goals in 47 appearances in the championship. Tottenham and other English Premier League (EPL) clubs, including Crystal Palace, have entered the bid to recruit Jov.

In the case of Tottenham, it was revealed last month that they contacted Job to confirm the terms of the potential deal. Crystal Palace have been more aggressive in their love calls than Tottenham.

Jove got a more glamorous spotlight thanks to his brother. Unique DNA was the charm. Jude moved to Spain's giants Real Madrid from Borsia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga last summer.

At the age of the terms and conditions, he broke the highest price for an English player. The transfer fee was 115 million pounds (about 204 billion won). Jude won his first season in La Liga and won Europe. In the European Champions League final, he beat Dortmund, his former team, to the top.

At Euro 2024, he stood tall as a sign of English soccer. In the Euro 2024 round of 16 against Slovakia on the 1st, Jude scored a golden equalizer with a fantastic overhead kick in the 50th minute of second-half stoppage time with about a minute left.

England, which was dragged 0-1, survived thanks to the 'Save the World' Jude, and won 2-1 in the first minute of extra time when Harry Kane's come-from-behind winning goal scored to advance to the quarterfinals. England, which beat Switzerland in the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout, will play the Netherlands in the semifinals on the 11th.

Jov could be a fantastic signing for Tottenham if he only gets close to the level achieved by Jude. He plays as an attacking midfielder but can also play the eighth role.

Tottenham negotiated by offering 20 million pounds (about 35.5 billion won), nearly 10 times the amount paid by Sunderland last year as a transfer fee for Job, but it never happened. The 18-year-old Jov plans to seek a move to the 'big club' after gaining more experience.
