Brian Brobbey

Brobbey arrived from Ajax to lead Sunderland's line and finished as their top scorer in 2025/26 with seven Premier League goals, a modest tally that reflects both a shared workload up front and a team that did not create chances in bulk. He started 22 games and rotated with other forwards, so his role is not yet locked down heading into 2026/27. His physical profile is exactly what manager Regis Le Bris wants leading the press, and there is scope for more if he nails down the central striker spot and Sunderland build on a solid first season back. Seven goals will not excite anyone, but a young forward with his pedigree and a full run of minutes could push toward double figures. He is a speculative pick, a cheap forward with clear upside whose value hinges on him securing the starting job.
