Brian Brobbey, born on 1 February 2002 (age 24), is a Dutch striker now with Sunderland, where he wears the number nine shirt. His current market value is around £18.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is still shaped mainly by Ajax. Across five league seasons there, Brobbey made 115 league appearances and scored 45 goals, with his best return coming in 2023–24: 18 goals in 30 league games. That spell gives the clearest measure of him – a centre-forward trusted often enough, and productive enough, to remain more than a passing name in Amsterdam.
At Sunderland in 2025–26, he has stayed in the first-team picture. He has made 31 Premier League appearances, scoring seven goals, and added one FA Cup appearance, taking him to 32 games and seven goals in all competitions for the club.
Brobbey’s career to this point is built around Ajax, with Sunderland now giving him a regular platform in English football. He remains an established striker rather than a finished story.
