Jobe Bellingham reacts to Enzo Le Fee’s ‘Wembley’ message amid Dortmund rumours
Jobe Bellingham has reacted to Sunderland team-mate Enzo Le Fee’s recent social media message, with rumours around the youngster’s future swirling.
Sunderland secured their place in the Championship play-off final in dramatic style, Dan Ballard scoring a 92nd-minute winner against Coventry.
The Black Cats had taken a 2-1 lead into the second leg but Ephron Mason-Clark’s second-half volley sent the tie to Extra Time, before Ballard’s header sparked pandemonium at the Stadium of Light.
Before the game, Sunderland pulled off a sneaky move, as they pushed all the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch in an attempt to nullify the visitors’ long throws.
Regis Le Bris’ side will face Sheffield United at Wembley, with the winner joining already promoted Leeds and Burnley in the Premier League.
Le Fee sends message to Sunderland fans
Le Fee picked up an assist in the first leg against Coventry, and repeated the trick in the second leg, curling a last-minute corner onto Ballard’s head.
Since joining on loan from Roma in January, the Frenchman has caught the eye not only for his attacking flair, but also for the way in which he has bought into Sunderland’s defensive system.
Taking to Instagram (14 May) after the game, Le Fee posted a photo of the celebrations after the game, with the caption: “One more to go, see you at Wembley.”
The post was liked by a number of his Black Cats team-mates, including Bellingham who has recently been linked with Dortmund.
Bellingham to create his own legacy
Football Insider Verdict
Of course, a move to Dortmund makes sense for Bellingham, not least because his brother Jude had such a successful spell at the club.
However, the 19-year-old has already started to try and step out of his brother’s shadow, by wearing ‘Jobe’ on the back of his shirt instead of ‘Bellingham’.

If the Sunderland starlet is to continue forging his own identity, then perhaps he should avoid making the same career choices as his older sibling.
Football Insider exclusively revealed that Bellingham is set to leave Sunderland, if they do not gain promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs.
However, despite Dortmund being the favourites to land his signature, the midfielder may decide to continue his quest to create his own legacy, and opt for a move elsewhere.
