Exclusive : Osayi-Samuel Formally Lodges Transfer Request As Bristol City Join Race

Nigerian winger Bright-Osayi Samuel will meet with the owner of Blackpool, Owen John Oyston, to hand in a transfer request on Wednesday morning as he attempts to force a move to a Championship club interested in his signature.

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Bristol City, Derby County and Brighton & Hove are the three teams in the English second-tier exploring ways to sign the teenager but Blackpool suits are reluctant to letting him leave.

And to scare off Bright Osayi-Samuel’s suitors, Blackpool are forcing clubs to buy the talented winger for one million pounds.

The 19-year-old is in the last year of his contract at Pool, but they have an option to prolong his stay for one year.

This season, the Nigerian-born talent has played five games in the Football League Two, logging 299 minutes.
