Osman spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Birmingham after Brighton recalled him from Auxerre. He made 18 appearances, and his performances led Davies to publicly express a desire to bring him back.

Davies had previously said he would “love” Osman to return, but acknowledged there were “a lot of moving parts.”
