Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman has completed a season-long loan move to French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre from English Premier League side Brighton, with an option to buy.
The 20 year old former Right To Dream winger joins the French outfit from Brighton and Hove Albion for the upcoming 2025/2026 season after already having a loan spell with Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord Rotterdam.
He joined the Seagulls from Danish outfit FC Nordsjaelland in a deal worth around €19.50M after spending a year and a half with the Danish side. He featured in 54 games, scored 10 goals and provided 9 assists for Nordsjaelland during his time at the Right To Dream Park in Denmark.
The 20-year old after joining Brighton and Hove Albion last summer was sent straight to Dutch Eredivisie side, Feyenoord Rotterdam on loan as he struggled to find his feet in the Rotterdam city where he featured in 32 games, scored four times and notched three assists during his loan spell.
He made 22 appearances in the Dutch Eridivisie for Feyenoord Rotterdam and seven appearances in the UEFA Champions League, as well as three in the Dutch Cup.
The exciting winger will add up to the already two exciting Ghanaian players in the name of Gideon Mensah and Elisha Owusu who are also regular Black Stars players. He will add up to his compatriots to make a formidable Ghanaian trio in the Auxerre squad. The 20-year old will be donning the number 23 shirt
Ibrahim has been capped two times for the Ghana national team, grabbing his debut with the Black Stars on March 22 2024 in an international friendly against West African rivals, Nigeria and has since gone on to make one additional appearance and had gone on to earn a host of call ups for tournament qualifiers and main events.
Joining the Ligue 1 side will be a great opportunity for him to find his feet and potentially earn a call up for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers doubleheader against Chad and Mali in September 2025.
