Exclusive: Blackpool Reject Derby County 0.4 Million Pounds Offer For Osayi-Samuel

Blackpool have rejected a  £0.4 million bid, including performance-related incentives,  from Football League Championship club Derby County for the services of Bright Osayi-Samuel, allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report.

The Nigerian-born winger has been scouted by Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur this season and also been linked with a possible move to Brighton & Hove.

The Chief Executive at Blackpool, Alex Cowdy, says Osayi-Samuel is an important part of their plans and the club are not interested in doing business with The Rams.

Derby County had come up with an offer that would have seen Blackpool pocket 250,000 pounds transfer fee : £125,000 payable on signature and the balance to be remitted on September 1, 2017.

The Championship club were prepared to pay £50,000 for the winger’s first ten league appearances, that is £5,000 per game, and an additional £100,000 if Derby County are promoted to the Premier League within the next three seasons.

Stoke City had explored the possibility of signing Osayi-Samuel before he was scouted by Spurs and Arsenal.
