Sunderland coach Mike Dodds knows Bellingham and his older brother well from his time at Birmingham City.
Speaking after the Luton Town win, Mowbray said: "As I've said to you before it [transfers] is not part of my remit. I'm the head coach, I coach the football team, I don't get involved too much on who we might sign.
"One of our coaches is very close to the Bellingham family, he talks on national telly sometimes about his big brother at Dortmund. Maybe he's just come to watch a big game as their season has finished, I don't know the answer to that and it's not something I'm privy to."
