Brighton's technical director, David Weir, emphasized the importance of this move for Osman's growth. He highlighted Osman's successful loan at Feyenoord and stated that the move to Auxerre will offer him valuable opportunities for growth.
Auxerre views Osman as a key addition to bolster their attack as they aim to establish themselves in the top flight. Osman expressed his eagerness to make an impact in Ligue 1, stating, "Happy to be here. Can't wait to get started. See you soon."
Osman's journey began at Ghana's renowned Right to Dream Academy, where he developed his skills. He then moved to Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjælland, where he made 44 appearances, scored 10 goals, and provided 10 assists in all competitions.
His talent caught the eye of Premier League club Brighton, who signed him in February 2024 for a reported £16 million on a long-term deal. Osman will join an Auxerre squad featuring fellow Ghanaians Gideon Mensah and Elisha Owusu, which should help him adapt quickly to his new environment.
