Brian Brobbey, born 1 February 2002 (age 24), is a Netherlands striker with Sunderland, where he wears the number 9 shirt. His market value is around £18.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Brobbey’s career is still shaped chiefly by Ajax. Across five league seasons there, he made 115 league appearances and scored 45 goals, with his best return coming in 2023-24, when he scored 18 times in 30 league matches. That is the spell that gives the career its substance, rather than any passing stop elsewhere.
At Sunderland in 2025-26, he has remained a regular first-team presence rather than a name drifting around the squad list. He has made 31 Premier League appearances and scored seven goals, with one further FA Cup outing taking him to 32 appearances and seven goals in all competitions for the club.
He has also featured for the Netherlands this season, making one World Cup appearance. At this stage, Brobbey is an established forward whose record is anchored in Amsterdam, with Sunderland now providing the next serious test of his week-to-week level.
