Ajax let go of Brian Brobby to join Sunderland last summer “a little too easily”, with apparent regret over the deal a year later.

football primer report On journalist Mike Verweij’s comments today regarding the Sunderland striker. he is affected by Brobby’s development at the Stadium of Light In this weather.

sunderland success

Brian Brobby joined Sunderland on a €20m deal at the end of the summer transfer window last year.

He left the Dutch team after a difficult second spell at the club, where he struggled for goals and faced regular criticism from the Dutch press.

It was soon forgotten in England. The 24-year-old has been one of the stars of the show for Sunderland this season, scoring seven goals and one assist in 30 Premier League games so far.

The last of those came last weekend when he easily beat Everton’s James Tarkowski to eventually win 3–1.

His performances should set him up for a major role for the Netherlands at the World Cup this summer. And Verweij believes manager Ronald Koeman will be pleased with the striker’s development.

“It’s obviously something that pleases Koeman,” he said in the Kick-Off podcast, discussing Brobbey’s form at Sunderland.

“Brobbie has really taken things up in England. Last year, with four goals, he was really bad. I think Ajax also let him go a little too easily. That’s good news.”

Netherlands’ role

The question is what role Brian Brobby will play for the Netherlands this summer. Despite his good performances in the Premier League, he has yet to establish himself as first choice.

Ronald Koeman prefers Memphis Depay as his main striker, but questions remain over his fitness ahead of the tournament.

This could give the Sunderland striker a chance to make an impact. Whether he understands this or not remains to be seen.

Sevilla fans have now started begging newcastle united Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos will remain at the club beyond the summer.

L. Desmarck reports on the situation today. He explains that a group of Sevilla fans made their feelings clear to him at a recent meeting.

want transfer to sevilla

The newspaper reports that Odysseas Vlachodimos faces its last game at Sanchez-Pizjuan on Sunday. His loan deal with Newcastle expires at the end of the season and he is expected to return to England.

It would be a huge disappointment for Sevilla, where he has established himself as a hero in a difficult season. According to El Desmarck, he is ‘the best player in the team’.

Without him, Sevilla would have been in a much more precarious position, and he is greatly liked among Sevilla fans.

And they’re willing to make their feelings about it clear. This Saturday, Sevilla fans made their wishes known to the Newcastle loanee as he left training. “Please stop, please stop,” Vlachodimos appealed as he left the training ground.

Whether that happens remains to be seen. Vlachodimos has made it clear on more than one occasion that he would like to stay. He and the fans are together on this front. The question is whether Newcastle will be able to make it happen.

Newcastle’s demands are vague

ABC Seville also reports Today on the Greek goalkeeper. He says Newcastle ‘paid a huge sum’ for the 32-year-old and ‘will not let him go easily’.

Sport Witness covered a report last month It is being said that Newcastle want €10 million for Odysseus Vlachodimos this summer. However, given that he paid €23.6m in 2024, this seems a bit low.

Even if that is the asking price, it will likely be too expensive for Sevilla. The Spanish side is in financial trouble and doesn’t have that much money to spend on signings.

They are likely hoping for another loan deal this summer, which would leave Vlachodimos in the last year of his deal in 2027. But given that he has impressed in Spain, it is difficult to see Newcastle wanting to make any concessions, even if Sevilla fans keep begging.

liverpool They face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final second leg at Anfield on Tuesday.

Last week, Liverpool lost 2-0 to PSG in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.

L’Equipe was critical Arne Slot’s tactics and the performance of Reds trio Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Milos Kerkez against PSG.

The Premier League team faces a tough challenge to recover from the 2-0 defeat and secure a place in the last four of the competition.

Ahead of the big clash, Bafoudé Diakhaby’s move to Ligue 1 side Liverpool has been tipped in France.

Why did the coach leave PSG for Liverpool?

Team There is a report on Bafode Diakhaby, titled ‘Hidden transfer’ between Liverpool and the Paris club.

He finished his playing career with Paris FC in 2015 and worked with them for two years as a youth coach and scout.

The 37-year-old left Paris FC for PSG in 2017 and was part of their academy. Earlier this year, he left the Ligue 1 winners to join Liverpool’s academy.

At the Merseyside club, he is coaching their U12s to U16s, which is a hybrid role for the first six months.

The newspaper says that his exit from PSG has been discussed internally. Some see his departure as a ‘turning point’ in the way the French club’s academy is managed.

Diakhaby loves his former club but did not agree with the academy’s new approach. As a result, his relationship with youth team director Yohan Cabaye deteriorated.

At that time, Liverpool showed interest and the coach took advantage of this and moved to England with his family. The French took this step to experience something new.

PSG, for their part, wanted to keep him, and therefore, did not readily accept his move to Anfield.

Players trained under Liverpool’s youth coach

During his time at PSG, Bafodé Diakhaby worked with a number of youngsters, many of whom have enjoyed success.

Some of them are Warren Zaire-Emery, Seny Mayulu, Ibrahim Mbaye, Quentin Ndzontou, Ethan Mbappe, Tanguy Kouassi, Edouard Michaut and Timothy Pembele.
