Somali-Swedish footballer Taha Ali, a prominent striker for Malmö FF, may be on the verge of a Premier League move, with English club Brighton expressing strong interest. Known for his speed and ability to unlock defenses in the final third, the 26-year-old has been a vital force for Malmo, playing a central role in securing the league title with a goal and an assist in their last game .

Famous for spotting new talent, Brighton see Ali’s skills as a perfect fit for their attacking style. His pace and creativity on the pitch have attracted attention and positioned him as an ideal addition to the Premier League, where he could face some of the world’s best defenders and continue to grow in one of the sport’s most competitive environments.

Ali’s influence at Malmö goes beyond offensive power. His composure under pressure was evident in his title-winning performance, reinforcing his reputation as a clutch player. With six goals and seven assists last season, he has proven to be an invaluable asset and his one goal and five assists this season continues to highlight his playmaking ability. Signed from Helsingborgs IF last year, Ali quickly became a key figure in Malmö’s squad.

If the Brighton move goes through, Ali will be joining a new chapter in his career. The Premier League would offer a fresh challenge, exciting fans who see him as an ideal boost to their team’s speed and creativity.

In addition, Turkish club Trabzonspor are also reportedly keen to sign Ali, who was born in Stockholm to Somali parents who fled civil war in the 1990s.
