Ali’s impact on Malmö goes beyond offensive power. His calm under pressure was clear in his title-clinching 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 continue to highlight his playmaking abilities. Signed from Helsingborgs IF last year, Ali quickly became a key figure in Malmö’s squad.
If the Brighton move goes through, Ali will join a new chapter in his career. The Premier League would offer a fresh challenge, exciting fans who see him as an ideal boost for their squad’s speed and creativity.
In addition, Turkish club Trabzonspor is also reportedly eager to sign Ali who was born in Stockholm to Somali parents who fled the civil war in the 1990s.
