The Premier League Pull - Mahmoud Dahoud

As per Fabrizio Romano, experienced midfield Mahmoud Dahoud of Borussia Dortmund, is close to a verbal agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Not only is this a really astute bit of business, but it is one which shows the level the Premier League is getting to.

The first stage, has been teams like Brighton, being used as a stepping stone, to develop, nurture & give young players from abroad a platform to thrive.

This has translated all over the Premier League, with an increase in South American footballers especially, coming to the Premier League first, as supposed to going to a Portuguese club which is awfully common in the past, or staying in South America.

Seeing a 27 year old Mahmoud Dahoud, be a key player for a Champions League level club and beyond, going to a team like Brighton, in their prime years…

Is a massive credit to Brighton, the pull factor of working under coach Roberto De Zerbi, the style, the track record of the club, and the clubs especially remarkable season.

It almost activates a 2nd level, which the Premier League is bringing. Signing top quality European assets, in their prime years, highlights a whole different focus, for players careers.

This is just one example, there’s been others in the past, but this transfer presuming it happens, really changes the landscape for the Premier League, to really replicate a financial & attractive, super power, which is near impossible to compete with, even more so than currently.
