Ferdi Vierklau is very impressed by the development that Brian Brobbey is going through at Ajax. The rapporteur of The Telegraph appoints the striker as Player of the Week and also hopes that Brobbey will think carefully before deciding to exchange Ajax for a major club abroad.

“Brian Brobbey from Ajax is my player of the week. Despite his missed penalty, he just scores two,” Vierklau, who played for Ajax for a short time in the past, refers to the attacker's outstanding role in the 4-1 win. home match against RKC Waalwijk.

“He was so very strong again. With holding balls and delivering them, which also resulted in an assist, or turning away and scoring himself. If Ajax created fifteen chances, he was involved in eleven, I'm guessing,” Brobbey gets the necessary praise cheered by Vierklau.

The former defender of the Amsterdam club even thought Brobbey was 'by far the most interesting player on the field'. “And I am curious whether he will stay with Ajax this winter. If he leaves Ajax now, it will not be for a club like RB Leipzig, but a bigger club.”

Brobbey opted for a contract with Leipzig in mid-2021, returning to Ajax after only six months on a rental basis. In the summer of 2022, the Amsterdammers decided to permanently bring Brobbey back to the Netherlands for more than sixteen million euros.

Brobbey does not plan to leave Ajax this winter, he said at the press conference after the won Eredivisie match against RKC. The usually well-informed journalist Florian Plettenberg reported on Saturday on behalf of the German branch of Sky Sports that Manchester United and manager Erik ten Hag want to make an attempt to loose Brobbey from Ajax.

The 21-year-old striker was also a target last summer the Red Devils, but a transfer did not happen at the time. However, Brobbey himself indicates that he knows nothing about the renewed English interest.

“I also saw it on the news. But I will stay in Amsterdam,” said the 21-year-old striker. Brobbey does not want to completely rule out a future transfer. “Would they be allowed to come back in the summer? Haha, who knows.”
