Man United and Tottenham enter race to sign £50m Netherlands star in January

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United could compete in a January transfer race to sign Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey. Sunderland is reportedly expected to demand over £50m for a permanent deal for the 24-year-old Netherlands international, who recently scored a hat-trick against Manchester City.

Manchester United has tracked Brobbey since 2022 when former manager Erik ten Hag attempted to sign him from Ajax. Tottenham is also targeting the forward to address squad depth as the club prioritizes Premier League-proven signings.
