Sunderland news: Brian Brobbey impresses at World Cup - have your say

Sunderland and Crystal Palace are the Premier League clubs with the most goals scored by their players at the World Cup after the group stage, highlighting the remarkable depth of international talent now spread throughout England's top flight.

Players from both clubs have combined to score seven goals in North America, placing them ahead of established heavyweights Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Across world football, only Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain's representatives have scored more goals during the tournament so far.

Sunderland matching Palace's tally is perhaps the tournament's biggest club surprise. After returning to the Premier League following an eight-year absence, the Black Cats finished seventh in 2025-26 and have quickly established themselves on the international stage.

Brian Brobbey has led the way with three goals for the Netherlands, while Granit Xhaka (Switzerland), Habib Diarra (Senegal), Wilson Isidor (Haiti) and Nilson Angulo (Ecuador) have all found the net to give Sunderland seven goals from five players.

Brobbey scored seven Premier League goals in his debut season for Regis le Bris' side after arriving from Ajax.

So, do you have any concerns the striker's impressive World Cup displays will lead to increased transfer interest? Will Sunderland be able to keep hold of Brobbey?
