UNBELIEVABLE NEWS;Jobe Bellingham has finally terminated his contract deal with club due to…

Jobe Bellingham was Sunderland’s only representative in the Championship team of the year.

The midfielder earned his place alongside Ao Tanaka from Leeds United, who also had Dan James and Jayden Bogle in the lineup.

Norwich City’s Josh Sargent and Borja Sainz were also selected, as well as the trio of Burnley players Maxime Esteve, CJ Egan-Riley and James Trafford.

Harrison Burrows and Gustavo Hamer were also given the nod, representing Sheffield United, with the latter also earning the overall player of the year award.

Jobe Bellingham deserved team of the year recognition

When asked whether Bellingham deserved to be in the team, FLW’s Sunderland fan pundit Jordan Newcombe backed the decision 100 per cent.

He expects the teenager to go on to big things, and believes that this recognition has nothing to do with the player sharing the same surname as his brother Jude Bellingham.

“After watching the EFL awards I will obviously put into perspective, put my bias aside, and say there are a lot of good options for the centre-mid position,” Newcombe told Football League World.

“The no.8 type role, and obviously Jobe is one of those players that fits well, he’s been great this season. 100 per cent, I agree with that decision.

“Jobe Bellingham being in the Championship team of the season has got to be the most realistic and deserved thing this season.

“I am sick to death of hearing he’s only big and he’s only getting chosen because of his surname, his surname has nothing to do with it.

“In a few years’ time, whether he’s with Sunderland or if he’s moved away, this man will become a big star like his brother.
