Jobe Bellingham ‘lined up for huge Champions League transfer as European giants target DOUBLE Sunderland raid’

LAZIO are reportedly targeting a double raid on Sunderland for Jobe Bellingham and Jack Clarke.

The Italian giants, managed by ex-Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, are on the hunt for some bargains this summer.

And Gazzetta claims they have identified two of the Black Cats’ top stars as major transfer targets.

Bellingham, 18, is the younger brother of Real Madrid and England star Jude.

The midfielder only joined Sunderland from Birmingham last summer.

But he has quickly become a key player and already has five goals in 33 matches this season.

As for Clarke, he was reportedly the subject of a failed £13.5million bid from Lazio in January.

The flying winger, 23, is in his third season at Sunderland after moving from Tottenham.

And he has hit an incredible 14 goals in 34 outings from wide positions.

Sunderland are desperate to keep both players, especially if they win promotion to the Premier League.

The Black Cats are 10^th in the Championship table after winning 14 matches.

Just one point separates them from the play-offs.

As for Lazio, they are suffering a disappointing Serie A campaign after finishing second last term.

They sit 7^th after just 11 wins and are five points off the Champions League spots.

But Sarri’s men are in the Coppa Italia semis, where they will face Juventus for a place in the final.

And they also have one foot in the Champions League quarters after a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in Wednesday’s last 16, first-leg tie.
