Sunderland explain need for Brian Brobbey to Spurs, Man United and Aston Villa after contact

Sunderland striker, Brian Brobbey, has emerged as one of the standout players at this summer’s World Cup after a good start in the Netherlands.

The 24-year-old has been instrumental in helping Ronald Koeman’s side reach the knockout stages.

Brobbey announced himself in style during the Netherlands’ 5-1 win over Sweden.

The Sunderland striker opened the scoring after just five minutes before doubling his tally in the 17th minute to put the Dutch on the line.

His two goals came from close range behind a good attack that included Cody Gakpo and Denzel Dumfries.

The performance won widespread praise as the Netherlands climbed to the top of Group F.

Brobbey then carried his form into the final group game against Tunisia.

The striker scored again within the first seven minutes as the Dutch won 3-1 to finish as group winners – his third goal of the tournament put him among the top scorers at the World Cup heading into the knockout stages.

Incredibly, Brobbey scored in each of his first three starts in the competition.

That clinical finish has cemented his growing reputation on the international stage, and his performances have increased interest in the transfer window.

Brobbey joined Sunderland last summer but has quickly become one of the Black Cats’ key players, and several clubs have continued to monitor his progress throughout the World Cup.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Sunderland have already made their position clear on any possible transfer.

Sunderland are expressing demand for Brian Brobbey with a set price tag

Their report says the Black Cats want at least £50 million before they consider selling the Dutchman.

Brobbey remains under a long-term contract at the Stadium of Light, and his World Cup performances have strengthened Sunderland’s negotiating position.

Interest is growing from England and other countries.

According to Tutto Juve, there are already contacts in many clubs regarding the situation of the striker.

Premier League clubs are looking to sign Brian Brobbey this summer

Man United are among the interested parties, while the Red Devils continue to look to attack.

Brobbey has been linked with a move to Old Trafford and his recent performances have done little to cool that speculation.

Aston Villa are also reported to be monitoring the situation. Unai Emery’s side are exploring a number of attacking options as they prepare for another competitive season.

Tottenham have also been named among the clubs keeping tabs on the Sunderland forward.

Spurs are still active in the market as they continue to rebuild their squad ahead of the new campaign, with Tutto Juve reporting that approaches have already been made as the clubs look to establish Sunderland’s status.

However, Regis Le Bris are unwilling to lower their demands, and it is believed that Sunderland are determined to keep hold of their star player unless their valuation is met.

His combination of speed, power and finishing made him one of the stars that emerged from this tournament.

With the World Cup underway, Brobbey’s strong showing could increase interest even more.
