Sunderland Take Big Decision On 24-Year-Old: Can They Afford Him For Long-Term?
Sunderland Take Big Decision On 24-Year-Old: Can They Afford Him For Long-Term? Former Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown made the club’s position clear to Football Insider this week. He stated that the Black Cats have no intention of selling Brian Brobbey this summer.
The 24-year-old Dutch striker joined Sunderland from Ajax on 1 September 2025. The deal cost €20 million and could rise to €25 million. He has quickly become a standout forward in the Premier League.
Sunderland Say That Brian Brobbey Is Not For Sale Brown called Brobbey “a really important player” for Sunderland. He added that a “huge fee” would be the only way to start talks. Even then, he doubted the club would sell at all.
Brobbey’s last-minute winner at St James’ Park against Newcastle United grabbed headlines in the Netherlands. Pundit Marciano Vink noted the striker’s physical growth since moving to England. Brown praised Sunderland’s summer recruitment as fantastic.
He argued that a strong first season back in the top flight proves why they must keep their best players. Brobbey played 22 Premier League matches this season. He scored five goals and provided one assist.
