Brighton & Hove Albion announced the signing of former Germany midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud from Borussia Dortmund on a four-year deal on Friday without providing financial details.
The 27-year-old, who had shoulder surgery last year, will join on July 1 after his contract with the Bundesliga runners-up expires.
“I’m thrilled to have Mahmoud on my squad. “I wanted him when I was at Sassuolo, and I’m confident he’ll be a top player for us,” manager Roberto De Zerbi stated.
Dahoud has two senior caps for Germany after making his debut against Turkey in 2020.
Brighton will play in Europe for the first time next season after finishing sixth to qualify for the Europa League.
“He’s a quality player with a lot of experience playing at a high level in Germany and a lot of experience in Europe,” technical director David Weir said.
Brighton confirmed the signing of 37-year-old midfielder James Milner, who was a free agent after leaving Liverpool.
