Sunderland's return to the Premier League saw Brian Brobbey arrive and become an important figure at the club, and the Dutch striker is now making an impression well beyond Wearside. One player paying close attention is Porto academy striker Tcherno Jamanca, who has just completed a remarkable campaign in Portugal. The teenager finished as the top scorer in the national Under-17 championship with 35 goals and helped Porto secure the title. Speaking to the club's official media channels, Jamanca opened up on the players he looks up to and revealed Brobbey is the striker he most identifies with. Jamanca named Cristiano Ronaldo among his overall footballing references, but when asked specifically about his position, the answer was clear. He explained that he has several references, including Cristiano Ronaldo, but in his position, Brian Brobbey is the one he fits with the most. The striker's admiration comes after the best season of his young career, where he achieved his objectives of becoming the league's top scorer and helping Porto win the championship. When asked to pick his favourite goals from the 35 he scored, the youngster did not hesitate, pointing to the two goals he scored against Benfica, strikes which proved decisive in delivering the title to Porto. The teenager also insisted there is still significant room for improvement and said he continues to learn from older players at the club. For Sunderland supporters, the comments offer an indication of how quickly Brobbey's profile has grown, after playing an important role during the Black Cats' first season back in the Premier League, scoring seven league goals and helping Régis Le Bris' side establish themselves in the division. Brobbey arrived with expectations after building his reputation in the Netherlands, and his impact at Sunderland has clearly been noticed elsewhere in Europe. Jamanca still has a long way to go before making the leap into senior football, but one of Portugal's most prolific youth strikers is already modelling parts of his game on Sunderland's number nine. The influence of Sunderland's players is reaching beyond England, with Brobbey's style of play being admired by young players like Jamanca, who are looking to make a name for themselves in the football world. As the Black Cats continue to establish themselves in the Premier League, their players are making an impact on the international stage, with Brobbey being a prime example of this. With his impressive performances and growing reputation, Brobbey is sure to be a key player for Sunderland in the upcoming season, and his influence on young players like Jamanca is a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport.
