AJ Auxerre’s pulling off a bit of a coup they’ve sorted out a loan for Ibrahim Osman from Brighton. Brighton only just grabbed the kid from FC Nordsjælland back in February for, what, £16 million? Not small change for a 19-year-old, but hey, the hype was real guy was tearing it up in Denmark, bagging ten goals and slinging eight assists in 54 matches. That’s not bad at all.
So, Osman lands at Brighton, pens a contract that runs until 2029 (yeah, they’re thinking long-term), but then—plot twist—they ship him straight out to Feyenoord in the Netherlands. Classic Premier League move: "Get some experience, kid." And to be fair, he did alright 22 games, three goals, three assists. Not superstar numbers, but he’s still a teenager figuring things out.
Now he’s off to France, landing at Auxerre. There’s an option to buy in the deal, so if he clicks, he could stick around. Auxerre’s clearly hoping he’ll juice up their attack before the new season kicks off. Not gonna lie, I’m curious to see how he handles Ligue 1. Feels like he’s been everywhere except actually playing for Brighton, right?
