The midfielder joined PSV from Vitesse Arnhem in 2015 and spent two years in Eindhoven before moving to the Premier League with Brighton.
Propper has now made the move back to PSV Eindhoven, who have agreed a bargain deal with Brighton. There is no transfer fee, but instead bonuses which could reach €2 million.
The 29-year-old becomes the fifth summer signing for PSV already, joining Marco van Ginkel, Joel Drommel, Philipp Mwene, and André Ramalho. PSV are also looking to bring Luuk de Jong back to the club from Sevilla.
It’s a good move for PSV and he’ll get consistent minutes there. That could actually be a good thing for the national team, because if he stays healthy and plays regularly he could be a good alternative to De Roon in MF for the NT. He’s pretty good at breaking up the play too and showed this in the UNL against France a couple years ago. But his ball retention and passing is MUCH better than De Roon’s.
