Brighton Set to Secure Ibrahim Osman in Multi-Million Pound Deal
The transfer, expected to be finalized in the summer, marks a significant acquisition for Brighton amidst competition from West Ham.
- Brighton & Hove Albion are finalizing a deal to sign 19-year-old Ghanaian forward Ibrahim Osman from FC Nordsjaelland, with the transfer fee reported to be around £15 million to £17 million, or approximately €19.5 million.
- The deal comes after West Ham's interest in Osman during the January transfer window, with their offers up to £13 million being rejected by Nordsjaelland.
- Osman, who made 27 appearances and scored two goals for Nordsjaelland last season, is highly rated by Premier League scouts and is expected to join Brighton in the summer.
- Brighton's recent signings also include Argentine teenager Valentin Barco from Boca Juniors and winger Adrian Mazilu from Romanian side FCV Varul.
- Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed concerns about the midfield, stating the team is short of two players in that area, despite the club's active involvement in the transfer market.
