Attacker Brian Brobbey scored twice in Ajax’s demolition of Excelsior on Sunday in the Dutch Eredivisie. The Dutch champions beat Excelsior 7-1.
“I could have made five,” said the 20-year-old attacker after he was voted ‘man of the match’. “That keeper of theirs was good. But I don’t think he’s happy now.”
Only once in the past 8 games did Ajax’s Brobbey show up at the opening kickoff. The striker was a little shocked that Mohammed Kudus, and not himself, was given the opportunity to start Rangers FC’s opening Champions League match in early September.
“But after that Kudus scored almost every game. Then it makes sense that he stays”, he said. “Now I have scored twice. And a striker who scores, you don’t change him.”
On 22 July 2022, Ajax confirmed the re-signing of Brian Brobbey on a five-year contract for a fee of € 16.35 million plus €3 million in potential add-ons.
Born in the Netherlands, Brobbey is of Ghanaian descent. Brobbey represented the Netherlands U17 at both the 2018 and 2019 editions of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, winning both competitions respectively.
