Brighton and Hove Albion's head coach Fabian Hurzeler has stated that the club will make the best decision for Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman as he strives to secure a spot in the first team. Osman, who joined Brighton from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland, has struggled to break into the Seagulls' senior squad. Over the past campaign, the 21-year-old gained valuable experience through loan spells in France, the Netherlands, and England.
He began the season with French side AJ Auxerre, then moved to Dutch giants Feyenoord before returning to England to play for Championship side Birmingham City for the second half of the season. During his time at Birmingham, Osman made 18 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing two assists, providing him with essential experience and a chance to adapt to English football.
Osman returned to Brighton for pre-season training ahead of the 2026/27 season and has impressed Hurzeler thus far. The coach revealed that he is impressed by Osman's progress and is eager to see how the youngster continues to develop. However, Hurzeler emphasized that the club will carefully evaluate the situation before deciding whether Osman should remain with the first team or seek another opportunity.
The Ghanaian international is expected to participate in another pre-season fixture against Italian Serie A side Bologna on Saturday at 14:00 GMT.
