Pascal Gross joined Brighton following their promotion to the Premier League in 2017 and has played a pivotal role in establishing the Seagulls in the top flight, as well as helping them into European competition for the first time.
No player has scored more goals or made more assists for Brighton in the Premier League than the German midfielder, while only captain Lewis Dunk has appeared in more Premier League games (241) or appeared in more victories (74) for the club.
Brighton will need to find a way of replacing Gross’ creative influence; according to Opta, only Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne (602) set up more chances than Gross (508) across the past seven seasons in England’s top flight.
Gross’ availability for selection has also been a major plus for the Seagulls. He appeared in 228 of Brighton’s 266 league games during his seven-year spell at the club, while he missed only three league matches in the past two seasons.
