Dutch pundit Mike Verweij believes Brian Brobbey is destined for a move to the English Premier in the near future.
The Ghanaian descent striker famously turned down a move to Manchester United 18 months ago before opting to return to Ajax from RB Leipzig.
Despite his struggles this season, Verweij remains optimistic about Brobbey’s future.
He highlighted the 22 year old’s goal-scoring prowess, emphasizing his efficiency during his time at RB Leipzig
“(Ronald) Koeman talked about the fact that his control and finishing would not be good. “On the other hand, during the period for RB Leipzig he only needed an average of 53 minutes to score a goal. Everything he got in front of him during that time was spot on, but he was also really important for Ajax in the early days when he returned from Leipzig” told De Telegraaf.
“Look, he is now going through a difficult period and I think that a ball inside post-inside post (against Brighton & Hove Albion, ed.) is illustrative of the phase he is in now. But it’s not that he suddenly can’t do it anymore; Previously, almost every opportunity was missed.”
“All English defenders and also manager De Zerbi said afterwards that Brobbey is a great striker,” concludes Verweij, who believes Brobbey has a great future. “He makes a big impression with his strength. I really think that there will be English clubs that will pay a lot for him.”
