Ibrahim Osman: Ghanaian winger set to join Feyenoord on loan from Brighton

Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman is heading to the Netherlands to join Dutch Eredivisie champions Feyenoord.

The 19-year-old striker, who joined Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window, will sign a season-long loan deal with the Dutch giants.

Osman, a graduate of the famous Right to Dream Academy, arrived in England in the summer after a successful spell at Danish club FC Nordsjaelland, where he scored six goals and provided seven assists last season, according to Transfermarkt.

However, competition for first-team places meant the winger had to spend a season on loan elsewhere.

He is expected to take a similar path to AFCON winner Simon Adingra and Japanese striker Kaora Mitoma. Brighton’s summer signing Yankuba Minteh also joined the club after a loan spell with Feyenoord.

Osman to benefit from loan

Competition for places in Brighton’s attack will be fierce ahead of the start of the campaign.

Adingra, Mitoma, Julio Enciso, Minteh, Jeremy Sarmiento and Amario Cozier-Duberry are likely to compete for positions on the flanks.

This means a loan spell will allow the Ghana international to get more game time, which could also prepare him for the intensity of the English Premier League.
