Bournemouth set to sign Super Eagles star Bright Osayi-Samuel

Super Eagles star Bright Osayi-Samuel could leave Fenerbahce before the transfer window shuts, with a potential move to Bournemouth looming. 

Bournemouth are looking to reinforce their squad as they aim to beat the Premier League drop this season. 

The Cherries have already made some signings this month but they are not done yet, with a possible move for Osayi-Samuel still in the works. 

According to Turkey’s transfer market expert Ekrem KONUR, Bournemouth are monitoring the Nigeria international’s situation at Fenerbahce and could make a bid for him before the transfer window shuts in the next 24 hours. 

Osayi-Samuel has been linked with a move away from Fenerbahce this month after his impressive displays. 

The 25-year-old has made 27 appearances for the Turkish club this season and has been one of their best players. 

His impressive form earned him a debut call-up to Nigeria’s squad for the match against Portugal last year. Osayi-Samuel made his international debut and has not rested on his laurels since then. 

His displays have now gotten the attention of Bournemouth, who could make a move for the Nigerian on deadline day. 

Should Bournemouth be successful in their pursuit of the Nigerian star, it would mark a return to England for Osayi-Samuel. 

The former Blackpool star joined Fenerbahce from QPR in January 2021, having started his career with The Tangerines. 

However, Bournemouth may have to pay a fee in the region of €9.00m for the Super Eagles star if they are to convince Fenerbahce to sell. 

Serie A leaders Napoli have also been credited with an interest, but only Bournemouth appear to be intentional in their pursuit. 

Osayi-Samuel’s current contract at Fenerbahce runs until 2025.
