English side Sunderland AFC have announced the signing of Dutch forward of Ghanaian descent, Brian Brobbey.
The club completed the signing of the youngster on transfer deadline day from Dutch giants Ajax.
“Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Brian Brobbey, subject to international clearance.
“Moving to Wearside from Ajax, the 23-year-old striker has signed a five-year contract at the Stadium of Light,” Sunderland said in a club notice.
Speaking after making the switch, Brian Brobbey said he cannot wait to get started at his new club.
“It feels great to be a Sunderland player. I spoke with Nordi Mukiele, who I know from my time in RB Leipzig, and he told me about the Club, the fans, and how it feels like a family. I first talked with Sunderland over a month ago, and I have seen the stadium and the fans this season, and I can’t wait to be a part of that passion.
“It’s emotional to say goodbye to Ajax, as I grew up here and I’m going to miss everyone, but the Premier League is the biggest stage in the world, and I’m ready for this next chapter,” Brian Brobbey said.
Brobbey, 23, has left Ajax after winning two Dutch Eredivisie titles with the club.
During his time at the club, he contributed 56 goals and 24 assists in 163 appearances.
