Besiktas are now looking to pounce. According to the report. They have opened talks with the Super Eagles star’s camp, but nothing concrete has emerged yet.

Soccer Which club will Bright Osayi-Samuel join?

Bright Osayi-Samuel has been quite brilliant for Fenerbahce, featuring in 178 games. The Super Eagles star’s speed, attacking ingenuity and intense style has made him a key asset for the Yellow Canaries.

But it seems Osayi-Samuel’s head is no longer in the Super Lig. Fenerbahce are the second best club in Turkey right now. And unless his head has been turned by a better club where he will get a significant pay rise and play with quality players, he would not be playing the waiting game with Fenerbahce.

Nonetheless, in the coming weeks, the Nigeria star is expected to make a decision on his next move.
