Bright Osayi-Samuel of Fenerbahce has told Soccernet.NG that he wants to return to English football and dreams of playing in the Premier League, amid claims that Leeds United, Bournemouth, and Rangers are all interested.
Osayi-Samuel, 25, has spent the previous two and a half years in Turkey with Fenerbahce after leaving QPR. During that period, he has made exactly 100 appearances for Fener, currently playing as a full-back.
Either to the left or to the right. Given his 194 appearances for Blackpool and QPR as a winger, he offers lots of versatility.Leeds and Bournemouth were reportedly in talks for the £9 million-rated ace, according to a Spor report.
Then, a Turkish outlet called Sporx reported that Rangers had made a proposal for the Nigerian sensation. Now, Osayi-Samuel has spoken out about his future plans, stating unequivocally that he wishes to return to English football and achieve his Premier League ambitions.
“Everyone knows my dream is to play English football in the Premier League.” Without a doubt, Fener has done a lot for me. But my objective is to play in the Premier League. I will leave when I believe the time is appropriate.”
Rangers have taken a hit as a result of his ambition to play in the top flight of English football. Rangers may offer him a route into English football, but Osayi-Samuel has already demonstrated his ability to play at this level.
Is he required in Leeds? We will undoubtedly require wingers and left-back cover, as Junior Firpo is expected to depart. However, with Bournemouth reportedly interested in a trade, he may opt to go straight into the Premier League.
