Brighton & Hove Albion winger Ibrahim Osman has completed a season-long loan move to Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord.

The 20-year-old Ghanaian international joined Brighton from Danish club Nordsjaelland earlier this summer in a deal worth approximately £16 million.

“Ibrahim has had a good pre-season with the squad. “We have strong competition in the wide areas and the feeling is that it is much better for Ibrahim’s development for him to be playing regular senior football. “This is an excellent opportunity for him to play at Feyenoord and we will be watching his progress as the season unfolds,” Albion’s technical director, David Weir said

Osman made 44 appearances for Nordsjaelland last season, scoring ten goals and assisting eight. Feyenoord won the Johan Cruyff Cup earlier this month, before opening their league campaign on Saturday with a 1-1 draw with Willem II. Following a second-place league finish last season, Feyenoord have qualified for the group stages of this campaign’s Champions League.

Osman, who has already earned two caps for Ghana, will don the number 38 shirt for Feyenoord this season.
