Jude Jacob Soonsup-Bell (born 10 January 2004) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Segunda División club Córdoba.

Early life

Born in Chippenham, Soonsup-Bell started his career at local side Calne Town, before joining Swindon Town. He moved to Chelsea at under-13 level.

Club career

Initially a midfielder, Soonsup-Bell was converted into a forward in the Chelsea academy. This change was beneficial for both Chelsea and Soonsup-Bell, as he progressed into a prolific striker, notably scoring four goals in an 8–1 FA Youth Cup win over Barnsley - the first Chelsea player to score four goals in this competition since Roger Bill in 1961.

At the age of 16, he was playing regularly for Chelsea's under-23 squad, and was seen as one of Chelsea's best young players. He signed his first professional contract in January 2021, having trained with the first team in preparation for their FA Cup third round tie with Morecambe.

Soonsup-Bell made his Chelsea debut on 22 December 2021 in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup, starting in a 2–0 win against Brentford. On 30 January 2023, it was confirmed that Soonsup-Bell had signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur. On 22 August 2024, following a successful season in Premier League 2, Soonsup-Bell joined Segunda División club Córdoba.

International career

Eligible to represent both England and Thailand, through his Thai Grandfather, Soonsup-Bell has played for England at under-15, under-16, under-18 and under-19 level. He is the second highest goal-scorer for the England U16s, behind Jadon Sancho, with six goals in seven appearances.
