Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini has praised the club's current number nine Brian Brobbey. Beast mode. I think he's definitely in beast mode and he is so strong, but not just strong, he's got balance," Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle. "He's so strong in his arms that he just keeps defenders away from the ball and he shields it and brings other players in. I just think he's looking like the real deal."
