English Championship outfit Portsmouth have reportedly identified Ghana international Ibrahim Osman as a potential addition to their squad, with the club keeping close tabs on the winger’s situation at Brighton & Hove Albion during the ongoing transfer window, Footy-Africa can confirm.
Per Footy-Africa sources, the 21-year-old attacker, who is regarded as one of Ghana’s exciting young wide players, is attracting interest as Portsmouth explore options to strengthen their attacking department ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Although Osman remains tied to Brighton on a long-term contract that runs until 2029, uncertainty surrounds his immediate future at the Premier League side, fuelling speculation that another temporary or permanent move could be on the cards.
At this stage, however, discussions between the two clubs have not progressed beyond initial interest, with no formal agreement in place and the proposed switch remaining purely speculative.

Osman arrived at Brighton from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland before embarking on a series of loan spells designed to accelerate his development. The Ghanaian has since gained valuable experience across Europe, featuring for Dutch giants Feyenoord, French side Auxerre and English club Birmingham City.
Now valued at approximately €7 million, the pacey winger is expected to weigh up his options carefully as he searches for consistent first-team opportunities to continue his development and boost his prospects ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
