Osayi-Samuel fuels transfer talk as Fenerbahce RB watches Crystal Palace v Arsenal from the stands

Fenerbahce right-back Bright Osayi-Samuel has added fuel to speculation about a potential return to England in the upcoming transfer windows, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

2021 Super Eagles invitee Michael Olise was not the only player of Nigerian descent present at the Crystal Palace versus Arsenal clash at Selhurst Park on Saturday evening.

Osayi-Samuel was spotted in the stands during the Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Arsenal, amid rumours linking him with English clubs. 

The defender continues to be linked with a potential transfer to Crystal Palace although a move failed to materialize during the January and summer transfer windows of 2024.

The future of the Blackpool academy graduate has dominated the back pages in Nigeria and Turkey due to his contract situation at Fenerbahce. 

Osayi-Samuel will enter the last six months of his contract at the Yellow Canaries in January and can sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in ten days.

Fenerbahce would like to retain the services of the versatile right-back and talks on a new deal have been ongoing since the end of last season.

Osayi-Samuel started Fenerbahçe's final match before the winter break against Eyüpspor, taking his tally to 157 appearances for the Istanbul side, with seven goals and fourteen assists.
