The finer aspects of the incredible coupand Brighton has formally acknowledged that they have all been established, have signed the winger who West Ham bid for in January.
In the last days of the winter transfer window, the Hammers made a strong drive to recruit a new left winger. Jota of Al-Ittihad was being considered for a transfer, but Ibrahim Osman of Nordsjaelland remained West Ham’s top target.

Indeed, Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma were about to be sold by David Moyes’ team. It would be dangerous to lose the striking duo without finding a replacement, particularly with West Ham still winning the Europa League.
Though Benrahma (on loan from Lyon) and Fornals (from Real Betis) did go, 19-year-old Osman managed to dodge the Hammers in the end.
Unsuccessfully, West Ham made a package offer of at least €18 million. The player was rejected by Nordsjaelland, a Danish team who placed a greater value on him.
That left the door open for other people to intervene and reach a consensus in advance of a summer move. David Ornstein of The Athletic later disclosed that Brighton had actually done it.
