Black Stars forward Ibrahim Osman has joined Brighton & Hove Albion as the English Premier League commenced its pre-season this week.

The highly-rated winger, who signed with the Seagulls during the winter transfer window, completed the season with his former club, FC Nordsjaelland, before moving to England this summer.

Osman trained with his new teammates at Brighton's training complex under the supervision of manager Fabian Hurzeler.

The 19-year-old is set to travel with Brighton to Japan for their pre-season tour of Asia, where they will face Kashima Antlers and Tokyo Verdy.

A graduate of the Right to Dream Academy, Osman aims to continue his rapid rise in football and hopes for a successful debut season in England.

He was arguably Nordsjaelland's best player in the second half of last season, attracting attention from clubs across Europe.

Brighton secured his services in January, beating rivals West Ham United to his signature.
