In a recent interview<\/a>, former scout Mick Brown urged Sunderland to keep hold of their star forward Brian Brobbey beyond this summer. Brown said,<\/p>\n

\u201cBrobbey has become a really important player for Sunderland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear the manager likes what he brings to the team, so I can\u2019t imagine they\u2019ll be looking to sell him already, no matter who comes in.<\/p>\n

\u201cSunderland did a fantastic job with their recruitment in the summer and it\u2019s been a really strong season for them, and Brobbey has been very impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks a handful to play against. He\u2019s strong, will back into defenders, battle them, fight them, run in behind, and he\u2019ll score goals as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes him such a valuable player to have, and Sunderland have had a strong season so they don\u2019t want to lose players already, they want to build on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would take a huge fee to get him out, and even then, I\u2019m not sure they\u2019d be looking to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brobbey\u2019s Impressive Form In English Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brobbey is having a decent campaign at the Wearside club as he has put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third during this campaign. The 24-year-old has found the back of the net seven times and earned one assist in 26 matches for Sunderland this season in various competitions.<\/p>\n

The Dutch striker is currently one of the best goal-scorers in the Premier League<\/a>. His current contract at the Stadium of Light will run out in the summer of 2029, so the Black Cats are under no immediate pressure to cash in on him this off-season.<\/p>\n

Should Sunderland Boss Regis Le Bris Comply With Brown\u2019s Advice On Brobbey?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brobbey is proficient at finding some space for himself to get some strikes in on target. He has proven himself to be a capable goal-getter in the Premier League and can even create the odd chance for his teammates in the final third.<\/p>\n

The Dutch forward is also quite clever with his movements in and around the opponent\u2019s penalty area. When fit, he is one of the first names in Sunderland<\/a> head coach Regis Le Bris\u2019 teamsheet.<\/p>\n

Thus, the Black Cats would be wise to keep hold of Brobbey for the long run. He has what it takes to be a top player for the Wearside club in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n

At 24, Brobbey\u2019s best years are ahead of him, so Le Bris would be wise to comply with Brown\u2019s advice by retaining the striker\u2019s services beyond this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
