Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham has been linked with a move away from the German club, and Crystal Palace are keen on him.
Manchester United are also monitoring his situation, and the Premier League duo are likely to fight for his signature. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Crystal Palace are more active in their search for the 20-year-old central midfielder.
It will be interesting to see if they can beat Manchester United with his signing. There is no doubt that Bellingham is a talented young player with a bright future and he could prove to be a solid investment for the future.
Jobe Bellingham would be a great addition
On paper, he could be the ideal partner for Adam Wharton, and Palace would do extremely well to secure his signature.
Speaking on YouTube for The United Stand, Ben Jacobs said: “The Jobe Bellingham situation is very interesting. The interest from Manchester United is historic. I think Crystal Palace are actually a bit more active.
“He may be agitating a bit more to get a chance mid-season to some extent and we need to understand how Dortmund react to that. He could be a surprise name available to some extent.”
Meanwhile, Manchester United also need more quality in midfield. Investing in the 20-year-old could prove to be a wise decision in the long run. He could form a strong partnership with Kobbie Mainoo in the future.
Where will Bellingham end up?
The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for the young midfielder. Crystal Palace and Manchester United will be exciting destinations for him. Palace have shown great improvements under Oliver Glasner and they are competing in Europe. They recently won the FA Cup and Community Shield.
Meanwhile, Manchester United haven’t been at their best in recent years, but they are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are automatically an attractive prospect for most players.
