Sunderland are facing some big decisions over several players approaching the final six months of their current contracts.

Sunderland received a major boost when key striker Brian Brobbey signed a new long-term deal at the Stadium of Light last week and followed the likes of Robin Roefs and Dan Ballard by committing his future to the Black Cats.

The former Ajax star has made a big impact since joining Sunderland from the Dutch giants last summer and has quickly established himself as one of the most powerful frontmen in the Premier League. His performances in red and white reportedly attracted interest from elsewhere - but his immediate future lies on Wearside after he committed to the Black Cats until the summer of 2031.

Speaking to the club website after putting pen-to-paper last week, Brobbey said: I’m really happy with the confidence the club has shown in me. Since I arrived, I’ve felt the ambition here, and I want to keep growing and improving as a player. Representing Sunderland in the Premier League is both an honour and a privilege.

“Having played my part in helping this club qualify for European competition is something I’m incredibly proud of. It’s an achievement that will always be part of the club’s history. I know I still can be a better version of myself, and that’s what motivates me every day. I want to score goals, help the team and give our fans something to be proud of.”

With Brobbey’s future now secured, there are some major decisions lying in wait for the Stadium of Light hierarchy - but when do the current contracts of Sunderland players come to an end?
