Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club has secured an exciting addition to their squad.
The Seagulls confirmed on Saturday that they have reached an agreement with Danish side FC Nordsjaelland for the transfer of 19-year-old winger Ibrahim Osman.
The Ghanaian talent, who can play on the left wing, right wing, and through the middle, will join the south coast club in the summer of 2024. His contract will be valid until June 2029.
Osman’s journey from Ghana’s Right to Dream academy to the Premier League mirrors that of Brighton’s Ivory Coast international Simon Adingra.
The young winger’s versatility and potential have caught the attention of clubs, including West Ham, who tried to sign him in January.
However, Brighton, having tracked Osman for a while, successfully completed the deal for this promising talent.
“We’re looking forward to the opportunity of working with Ibrahim,” said Brighton’s technical director, David Weir.
“He’s a young and exciting prospect, but for now, it’s important that we give him the space to focus fully on Nordsjaelland, where he is enjoying a good season.
Once the current season is over and he’s had the opportunity to rest during the summer, we will bring him into our environment, where he will get the time and support he needs to settle here in England.”
Fans eagerly await Osman’s debut in the Premier League, and his family’s presence at his unveiling adds a heartwarming touch to this exciting transfer.
