Brighton’s quest to become a force in English football is taking shape with the reported signing of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud.
The Seagulls have enjoyed a remarkable rise in the Premier League since their return to top-flight football. They want to keep that positive mood at the Amex Stadium by completing their transfer business early this summer.

Having already secured the pre-signing of Brazilian forward Joao Pedro from Watford for a fee that could reach £30m, they have now sealed the signing of Dahoud from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer, according to 90min.
It has long been known that the German midfielder would leave Signal-Iduna Park when his contract expires at the end of this season. Various clubs had been linked to him, with Premier League sides Brentford, Aston Leicester City, Newcastle United and West Ham United all interested.
But Brighton has won the race for the 27-year-old, who has been out for much of the season due to a shoulder injury.
Apart from Dahoud and Pedro, Roberto De Zerbi’s side are also closing in on a deal to bring Liverpool’s James Milner on a free transfer.
