Bright Osayi-Samuel: Super Eagles star makes transfer decision amid Crystal Palace links

Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi has informed Turkish Super Lig club Fenerbahce that he will be leaving them when his contract expires at the end of the season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osaka-Samuel’s future has been a major subject at Fenerbahce in recent weeks as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and he has refused to pen a new deal.

Meanwhile, he has also been linked with a transfer to the English Premier League, with Crystal Palace touted as a potential destination, albeit nothing concrete has emerged yet.

Fenerbahce’s season has already ended, as they have lost the Super Lig title to Istanbul rivals Galatasaray already. They were also knocked out of the Europa League and the Turkish Cup earlier on.

A few changes are expected at the club in the summer, and it seems as if Osayi-Samuel’s departure is almost set. According to Cubuklu Sports, Osayi-Samuel has already informed the club that he will leave them this summer.

As it is, it seems highly unlikely that Osayi-Samuel will stay in Turkey. Moreover, if he is not moving to Galatasaray, joining any other Super Lig club would be a step down, especially as Fenerbahce actually want him to stay.

The Premier League looks like the 27-year-old’s likely destination. And all indicators point to Crystal Palace.

Earlier this season, Osayi-Samuel was seen in one of Crystal Palace’s Premier League games. He also shares pictures of the team on social media occasionally.

However, aside from Palace, other clubs will be monitoring his situation. The Super Eagles star could be a nice fit for newly-promoted Leeds United.

They would also be enticed by the prospect of signing a quality player, as it would help them avoid the Premier League’s financial fair-play sanctions.
