English team Brentford table 12-million-euro offer for Osayi-Samuel

The Nigerian star was earlier linked to switching back to the Premier League in the January transfer window

English Premier League side, Brentford FC, reportedly made a 12-million-euro proposal to Turkish side, Fenerbahçe, to recruit Nigerian star Bright Osayi-Samuel.

According to a previous report from Soccernet.ng, the Nigerian star was on the verge of returning to the Premier League after receiving a few offers in January from Bournemouth, Leeds, and other Premier League teams.

Due to their loan requirements, his transfer to Bournemouth was unsuccessful. And yet, the Yellow Canaries are only looking for at least €12 million in exchange for their prized right-wing-back.

But, according to Turkish media outet, the Bees have made a 12-million-euro offer to acquire the Nigerian’s signature, meeting the price tag imposed on Osayi-Samuel in January.

After helping his side to a 1-0 win against Guinea-Bissau in the second leg, the Super Eagles star has been playing vital parts for Jorge Jesus’s team and has been able to extend that to the Super Eagles team as well.

Despite being a defender, the 25-year-old enjoys helping the offence, and Thomas Frank could use some assistance.

Fenerbahçe may refuse to sell him until they get his €12 million value, but given that they only paid €508k to Queens Park Rangers for the talented defender, now would be the ideal opportunity to make a profit.
