Brian Brobbey, born 1 February 2002 (age 24), is a Dutch striker now with Sunderland, where he wears the No 9 shirt. His market value is around £18.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is still shaped most strongly by Ajax. Across five league seasons there, Brobbey made 115 league appearances and scored 45 goals, a return that gives the spell proper substance rather than just promise. His best league campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored 18 times in 30 appearances.
At Sunderland in 2026-27, he has made nine appearances in all competitions and scored three goals. That includes seven Premier League appearances, with three goals, along with outings in the FA Cup and Europa League. He has also been involved for the Netherlands this season, scoring three times in four World Cup appearances and adding one Nations League appearance.
Brobbey is an established striker whose record is built mainly on his Ajax years, with Sunderland now the next substantial test. At 24, his career has moved beyond potential, but still has room to settle into its clearest shape.
