• Jobe Bellingham was reportedly scouted by Real Madrid
• His older brother Jude, plays for the club and is enjoying a dream start
• Jobe has established himself at Sunderland in the Championship this season

Real Madrid could be looking to pair Jude Bellingham and his brother Jobe after the club sent their scout to watch the young Englishman.

Jobe has looked great at Sunderland after leaving his boyhood club, Birmingham City, over the summer, establishing himself as a starter in the Championship.

According to El Nacional, as reported by Talksport, Real Madrid sent scouts to watch the 18-year-old while he played for England's under-19s against Montenegro. Chief Scout Juni Calafat was in attendance to watch Jobe.

The 18-year-old has made 12 appearances for Sunderland and scored two goals, per Transfermarkt and attracting the attention of a big club like Madrid means you're doing something right.

Meanwhile, Jude is enjoying a phenomenal start to his Madrid career after his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.

He has bagged 10 goals from 10 appearances, a run which has seen him get compared to some of the game's greatest players.

Jobe might be on the same trajectory as his brother, and Florentino Perez might be planning to reunite them in Spain.

Lescott showers Bellingham with praise

Former Manchester City defender Joelon Lescott has called Bellingham the "best player" in the world, as Sports Brief earlier reported.

The youngster has become a key player under Carlo Ancelotti, and it doesn't seem like they are missing their striker Karim Benzema, who left after 14 years in the summer.

Lescott also predicted that Bellingham could one day win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.

Former England international Owen Hargreaves also recently called Bellingham the "best player" in the world.
