News about Mahmoud Dahoud

TOM COLLOMOSSE: 'FIND the next Roberto De Zerbi.' Thanks to the Italian's eye-catching presence at Brighton, the land, chairmen, and chief executives have all given the same directive to their recruiting teams. De Zerbi has been enthralled in England's boardrooms since he landed in England in September 2022, mainly because of his swanky black jumpers, spiky hair, and empathetically tended beard. Now it seems that it will be a matter of time before he is rocking that look in the Champions League, with European football fans ecstatic to see where he goes next.

Mahmoud Dahoud, a Brighton midfielder, has joined Stuttgart on loan until the end of the season. After playing 14 games for the club last year, the 28-year-old German joined Albion in June last year and returned to the Bundesliga in June. However, he made only six starts in the Premier League as he tried to break into Roberto De Zerbi's set up at the Amex.

BY KIERAN GILL AND MATT HUGHES: The FA's decision to allow Roberto De Zerbi to say he dislikes '80% of England's referees' has sparked outrage, with anti-abuse activists who claim it only contributes to more vitriol. After Brighton's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on November 12, Mail Sport revealed on Thursday that he would not be charged for his rant. Rather, De Zerbi has received a formal notice from the FA, who had referred to referees as "the lifeblood of our sport" when they jumped behind Mail Sport's campaign against bullying match officials this week.

EXCLUSIVE: Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi will be given a football Federation suspended for his remarks about disliking '80% of England's referees' - leniency that has angered Arsenal after Mikel Arteta was jailed for his own rant. De Zerbi said of Brighton's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United, in which Mahmoud Dahoud was red carded before the international break, saying 'I am honest and straightforward.' I don't like 80% of England's referees. 'It's not new.' I don't like them. I don't like their players' behavior on the field.'

At the Amex Stadium after a solo run before Mahmoud Dahoud's red card changed the game's complexion. Dahoud stamped on Ben Osborn's ankle, causing the Blades to draw level after Adam Webster's own goal. De Zerbi, who is now in the midst of his longest winless in Brighton, was banned for his touchline demonstrations and took aim at the officiating post-match. After the blow, VAR Chris Kavanagh agreed with Brooks' decision and the red card was upheld, but De Zerbi's overriding gripe was with his team's reaction.

Premier League clubs will now have to make do with their current squads until January as the high-intensity drama of the transfer window begins to fade. The big boys in the division have been bolstered, the middle of the road sides have increased, and the teams that were supposed to face it out at the top of the table have also been increased. Transfers can make or break a team's fate during this 38-game marathon, with some teams wishing they didn't get a big contract because of the line, or ecstatic that their brand-new signing has come well. Supporters of each Premier League team will have their own minds already made up about their activity, but how does Mail Sport rank your team's dealings? Here are our A-E transfer ratings...

Shannon Ruth, Men's under-21s head coach, told the club's website: "He's a natural young left-back with a flair that we've been aware of for a long time."
