Brian Ebenezer Adjei Brobbey

Brian Ebenezer Adjei Brobbey

Brian Brobbey attacks space and pins centre-backs as Sunderland's lead striker. He broke through at Ajax in 2020–21 and later starred as a target man with back-to-goal hold-up. Brobbey thrives on quick combinations. A brief RB Leipzig spell preceded a return to Ajax on loan and then a €16.35m permanent move in 2022. He captured the KNVB Cup in 2021. He has represented the Netherlands at senior level. Brobbey's role is a traditional #9, driving at defenders, linking play with one-touch layoffs and finishing moves. On the pitch, his strengths pin centre-backs, hold up with back-to-goal power, and threaten the back post.
