Ghana youngster Ibrahim Osman has revealed taking advice from Simon Adingra before deciding to sign for Brighton and Hove Albion.
Brighton announced signing the 19-year-old on a long term deal and he will join them at the end of the current season from FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark.
Simon Adingra was also trained at the Right to Dream academy in Ghana, gaining promotion to Nordsjaelland, signing for Brighton before playing on loan at Union Saint-Gilloise.
Osman reveals he had a conversation about Brighton with Adingra but it was briefly because Adingra was engaged in the AFCON.
"I spoke to him [Adingra], but not a lot because he was focused on AFCON," Osman told Danish outlet, Bold. "I didn't want to disturb him, but yeah, we spoke a bit. He gave me some advice."
Simon Adingra was Ivory Coast’s star player in the final, proving two assists as they came from behind to win 2-1 against Nigeria.
Since his debut for Nordsjaelland in February 2023, Ibrahim Osman has featured in 40 games, scored four goals and provided 5 assists.
