Leipzig talent Brian Brobbey back to Ajax? Erik ten Hag: “Would be open to it”
Since Brian Brobbey is hardly used at Leipzig, Ajax Amsterdam is now thinking about getting the home grown back again.
Ajax coach Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he would not be averse to a return action of the center forward Brian Brobbey, who switched to RB Leipzig in the summer.
“If I could, I would be open to it,” said the 51-year-old at a press conference and added: “We’re still looking for a new striker.”
RB Leipzig: Hardly any working times for Brian Brobbey
To Telegraaf-Information, Ajax is actually checking a possible transfer of the 19-year-old, who is under contract in Leipzig until 2025. Ten Hag, however, also restricted: “I don’t know whether that will be possible.”
Brobbey is considered to be a promising young player, but so far he has hardly played a role under Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch. In the current season, the U21 international played ten competitive games, but these were mainly short appearances. Overall, he only comes to 229 minutes of play.
