Pascal Gross has signed a two-year contract with Borussia Dortmund after spending seven seasons with Brighton & Hove Albion, where he became a pivotal figure in the club's Premier League journey. Brighton chairman Tony Bloom hailed Gross as the club’s 'greatest-ever Premier League signing', emphasizing his significant contributions over 261 appearances. Gross expressed mixed emotions in his farewell, highlighting that it was a lifelong dream to play for Dortmund, a club he supported since childhood. He is expected to add depth and experience to Dortmund's midfield, joining fellow new signings Waldemar Anton and Serhou Guirassy. Despite being relatively unknown in Germany prior to his international debut last year, Gross has earned eight caps for his national team and participated in Euro 2024. His departure marks the end of an era for Brighton as they transition under new management.
