The future of several players in the senior national team of Nigeria will be in the news in the coming days when the transfer window opens in the first week of June, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
One of the players whose future will be in the news in the days to come is that of the new right back of the senior national team of Nigeria Bright Osayi-Samuel, who currently plays for Turkish side Fenerbahce.
25 year old Osayi-Samuel has made the Super Eagles right back slot his own starting in the last three games of the team but at club level he hasn’t had that kind of run for a while .
Signed in 2021, he made a total of 37 appearances in all competitions last season but unlikely two seasons ago when he was an undisputed starter. He was introduced 13 times as a substitute this season and made just ten starts in the league. Six other times he was an unused substitute.
Despite his contract set to run out in two years time, Fenerbahce are opened to listening to offers for his sale with teams from England, where he started his career keeping close tabs on his situation. He is also open to a move back home.
For now English Premier League side Bournemouth appear to be ahead of the rest with a bid expected to be lodged in the coming days. It is believed that a fee in the region of £6m to £9m should be enough to tempt the Turkish side into selling.
