BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club have been heaping praise on Brian Brobbey.

The Sunderland striker has three goals in eight Premier League games this season and impressed again when the Black Cats landed a significant win over Chelsea on Sunday.

"A strong number nine is one of my favourite team-mates," said ex-Premier League goalkeeper Joe Hart.

"I think there's nothing better than seeing them come up against a good centre-back, a battle.

"I think Sunderland know when they have Brobbey on the pitch, they are a match for anyone. And that raises the standards of everyone else.

"I think when he catches fire, other players know they will get chances than they may not necessarily get.

"He is the kind of player I would want in my team and the kind of player if I lined up against, I would be so aware of."
