Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman has expressed his excitement after completing a season-long loan move to French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre from Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 20-year-old sealed the deal on Tuesday, July 8, and is already looking forward to making an impact in France. In a short video shared by the club on social media, Osman said: “Happy to be here. Can’t wait to get started. See you soon.”

AJ Auxerre have confirmed that Osman will wear the number 23 jersey for the 2025/26 season. The deal includes an option for the French club to make the transfer permanent at the end of the campaign.

In a statement announcing the signing, Auxerre highlighted the Ghanaian’s attributes: “A two-time Ghanaian international, Ibrahim already possesses top-level experience for both club and country despite his young age. His speed and ability to take on defenders will be valuable assets for our squad.”

Osman now prepares to kickstart this new chapter in Ligue 1, hoping to reignite his form and gain valuable minutes in a competitive league.
