Brighton’s Gross joins boyhood club Dortmund

German midfielder Pascal Gross has completed a dream move back to his boyhood club Borussia Dortmund, after spending three successful seasons at Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

Gross, 30, began his career at Dortmund’s youth academy before moving to Hoffenheim and then Brighton in 2017. He has now returned to the Bundesliga with Dortmund, hoping to make an impact with the club he supported as a child.

In a statement on the club’s website, Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc expressed his excitement at Gross’ return, stating that he believes the midfielder will add quality and experience to the squad.

Gross himself expressed his happiness at the move, saying that it has always been his dream to play for Dortmund and that he is looking forward to the challenge of competing in the Bundesliga once again.

The midfielder is expected to wear the number 10 shirt for Dortmund, a number traditionally reserved for the club’s playmaker, a role Gross will likely take up in the team.

With his vision, passing ability, and set-piece prowess, Gross is seen as a key addition to Dortmund’s midfield, as they look to challenge for the Bundesliga title and make a deep run in the Champions League.

Brighton fans have wished Gross well in his new adventure, thanking him for his contributions to the club over the past few seasons and expressing their admiration for his professionalism and dedication.

Gross’ departure leaves a void in Brighton’s midfield, but the club is reportedly already scouting for potential replacements to fill the gap left by the German midfielder.

As Gross settles in at his new club, Dortmund fans are eagerly anticipating his debut in the famous yellow and black jersey, hoping that he can help lead the team to success in the upcoming season.

Overall, Gross’ move to Dortmund signals a new chapter in his career, as he returns to his roots and aims to make a lasting impact at the club he has always dreamed of playing for.
