Top clubs eyeing Brain Brobbey
The scouts from the Premier League clubs are impressed with the performances of the 24-year-old, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks. Sunderland paid €25 million in order to sign the player, and they could demand a premium for his signature.
Manchester United need more depth in the attacking unit, and the 24-year-old could be a handy option for them. He will add physicality and presence in the box. Brobbey scored 7 goals in the league last season.
He’s already well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact. Manchester United have Benjamin Sesko at their disposal, but the Slovenian needs more support in the attack. Adding another striker would be a wise decision for the club.

Brobbey could be a handy option
Similarly, Chelsea will need to find an upgrade on Liam Delap, who has been underwhelming. The former Ipswich Town striker could be sold this summer, and Chelsea needs to replace him.
As far as Tottenham is concerned, Dominic Solanke has not been able to find the back of the net regularly, and they need someone else to share the goal-scoring burden.
It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs make a move for the 24-year-old Netherlands international. An impressive World Cup campaign will only add to his value, and Sunderland will look to recoup as much as possible from his departure.
