Brighton have announced the signing of the German midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud, whose contract at Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of this month. The 27-year-old will join on a four-year deal.
The Syria-born Dahoud, capped twice by Germany in 2020, becomes Brighton’s third summer signing, after João Pedro and James Milner. The head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, said: “I’m excited to have Mahmoud in my team. I wanted him when I was at Sassuolo and I’m sure he is going to be a top player for us.”
Dahoud began with Borussia Mönchengladbach before moving to Dortmund in 2017. He made 141 appearances for this season’s Bundesliga runners-up, although his game time was restricted after he had shoulder surgery last summer.
