Pascal Gross Makes a Surprise Return to Brighton from Borussia Dortmund

Gross Completes Dramatic Transfer

Pascal Gross has successfully rejoined Brighton from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in a significant January transfer move.

Manager’s Remarks on the Return

Brighton’s manager, Fabian Hurzeler, expressed his excitement upon the announcement of Gross’s return on Friday afternoon.

“Having Pascal back with us is fantastic,” Hurzeler stated. “He’s an exceptional player, and I was eager to work alongside him since my arrival at the club. Brighton supporters are well aware of his skills, and he also brings valuable leadership to our squad. His experience and talent will be incredibly beneficial as we approach the latter half of the season.”

A Look Back at Gross’s Legacy

At 34, Gross was Brighton’s inaugural Premier League signing in May 2017, transferring from FC Ingolstadt for a mere £3 million. He held the record for most Premier League goals scored for Brighton until it was surpassed by Danny Welbeck last April, making his return particularly cherished by the fans who admire the German midfielder.

Throughout his tenure with the club, Gross has made 228 appearances in the Premier League, netting 30 goals and providing 45 assists.
