Sunderland completed a move for Birmingham City midfielder Jobe Bellingham for an undisclosed fee on Wednesday as they continue their preparations for the 2023-24 campaign.
The transfer will be made official when the 17-year-old brother of England superstar Jude Bellingham returns from England Under-18 duty.
“I’m delighted to sign for Sunderland and I can’t wait to get started,” he told the club website.
“The opportunity for young players to move here and progress is clear, so I believe this is the perfect club for me to continue my development.”
