Ghanaian young talent Ibrahim Osman has shared that he sought advice from Simon Adingra before finalizing his decision to sign a long-term deal with Brighton and Hove Albion. Osman, currently with FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, is set to join Brighton at the end of the ongoing season.
Simon Adingra, who also emerged from the Right to Dream academy in Ghana, has a connection with both Nordsjaelland and Brighton. Osman revealed that he engaged in a brief conversation with Adingra regarding Brighton, considering the Ivory Coast player’s experience with the club. However, their interaction was limited as Adingra was actively involved in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) at the time.
“I spoke to him [Adingra], but not a lot because he was focused on AFCON,” Osman shared with Danish outlet, Bold. “I didn’t want to disturb him, but yeah, we spoke a bit. He gave me some advice.”
Adingra notably played a crucial role for Ivory Coast in the AFCON final, contributing two assists in their comeback victory against Nigeria. Meanwhile, Osman’s career trajectory has been impressive, featuring in 40 games, scoring four goals, and providing five assists since his debut for Nordsjaelland in February 2023.
