Everton are reportedly willing to break the bank and fork out €50 million to sign Ajax attacking sensation Brian Brobbey.
According to a report from Fichajes, Everton are looking to add goals to their squad, and they are interested in the services of Ajax striker Brian Brobbey. The toffees are willing to bet on the Dutch international, who has been a bit inconsistent in the ongoing season.
Brobbey has been a part of the Ajax setup since his early days. While he did switch to RB Leipzig, the 22-year-old secured a permanent return to his childhood club in the summer of 2022. Of late, he has been a key part of their first team setup.
The youngster was on fire last season, scoring 22 goals and bagging 12 assists in his 43 outings. The Dutch sensation’s impressive performances attracted a significant amount of interest, and multiple top clubs have been closely monitoring his progress.
Brobbey has not had the best of starts to the 2024/25 season. He only has two goals and five assists in his 17 outings. He looks like a shadow of his former self. While the Dutchman has been inconsistent, he has showcased glimpses of the immense talent he possesses.
Everton keen on signing Brobbey
Despite his poor form, Everton are quite interested in acquiring his services. The Toffees are struggling to stabilise themselves in the English top flight. They are looking to bring in a world-class striker to help their cause.
The Merseyside outfit want to add a young forward to the mix, someone who can help them in the long run, and Brobbey fits the bill. His ability to play with his back to the goal along with his finishing make him an ideal number nine. The Dutch striker might not have been consistent this season but his potential is what attracts interest from Everton.
The Toffees are confident he can turn things around and go on to be a special player. As a result, Everton are ready to fork out €50 million to sign him from Ajax. While the Merseyside club are willing to put forward a massive fee, it will be interesting to see if the Eredivisie club are ready to part ways with one of their best talents just yet as replacing him won’t be easy.
