By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Black Stars forward Ibrahim Osman believes his versatility will offer him the advantage in his quest to fight for a position in the starting team of Brighton next season.
The 19-year-old was unveiled as Brighton and Hove Albion’s latest signing following his arrival in England to begin his Premier League career.
Osman, a naturally gifted winger will face competition from Japanese star Kaoru Mitoma, Solly March, Simon Adingra, and fellow summer arrival Yankuba Minteh for a place in the starting line-up.
“My focus is to try and learn as much as possible in this squad and also with the older guys here to try and learn from them. And also I know myself, I don’t depend on one position. I can play as a right winger, upfront and on the left wing, so I’m happy I can play all these positions,” he said.
Osman joined his new teammates for pre-season this week and will travel with the team to Japan to continue preparations ahead of his debut season in the English Premier League.
