He is seen in a new report that he is in Germany for discussions with Bundesliga Titan Eintrachat Frankfurt over the summer switch.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are also enthusiastic about the Sunderland starlet, and apparently caught many eye with four goals and three assists promising returns this season.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the only grinding development with Tommy Watson, who won a key winner for Sheffield United at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>But all this bad news doesn&#8217;t need to completely lower morale for the newly promoted team, given that the Black Cat has an impressive reputation for the goodness of their homemade youth.<\/p>\n<p>This is once again true when everything goes to the plan and potentially bumps into a promising 20-year-old genius who could potentially become a substitution for a familiar Bellingham.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-sunderland-quot-diamond-quot-who-could-replace-jobe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunderland_%E2%80%9CDiamond%E2%80%9D_that_can_replace_Jobe\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Sunderland &#8220;Diamond&#8221; that can replace Jobe <\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, no one expects a rapid success of ripler rings as young people enter the tough Premier League environment.<\/p>\n<p>But the same should apply to young midfielder Harrison Jones if it seems worthy now to be handed over the baton by a star linked to Frankfurt, just like the patience exercised with Bellingham when he first broke through.<\/p>\n<p>After all, Jones has already started six times in the senior side in his fledgling career so far, with sparkling numbers on both the Under18 and Under21 showing off his keen eye at goal, supporting him like Bellingham.<\/p>\n<p>In Premier League 2 alone, the Sunderland-born star has won five assists and three strikes in the campaign. With the ability to descend the wings as a central option or wing, he is very comparable to Watson, who leaves immediately, leaving away from a high comparison with the number 7 of demand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"center\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"4\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Total number of Watsons in Sunderland<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Age group<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>game<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>The goal scored<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>assist<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>U18S<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>15<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>U21<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>40<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>First Team<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"4\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Procured by TransferMarkt<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Of course, the Bellingham can be slotted sideways below the sides if necessary.
