By joining Brighton, Osman follows in the footsteps of former academy teammate Simon Adingra, who won the 2023 AFCON with Cote D’Ivoire and has grown into a key player at Brighton.
“The style of play here is similar to FC Nordsjaelland so he just told me to just be the same as I am in FC Norsdjaelland. He has really inspired me for quite a few weeks during the AFCON and even playing weekly in the Premier League. If he can do that, then I’m also sure I can do the same.”

Beyond Adingra, Brighton have a wide range of top wingers including Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh to pick from.
“There were a lot of teams who wanted me… but when Brighton came in, I knew this was the type of club I wanted to play at.”
