English Premier League title contenders, Nottingham Forest, have reportedly secured a pre-contract agreement with Fenerbahce full-back Bright Osayi-Samuel, Soccernet.ng reports.
This move has raised fresh questions on the future of Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina, at the City Ground.
According to Turkish outlet Takvim, Forest have struck a deal to sign Osayi-Samuel ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international is nearing the end of his contract with Fenerbahce, and with no renewal on the table under Jose Mourinho, he appears set for a return to England.
While Osayi-Samuel’s arrival suggests he could be Aina’s replacement, the situation might not be that straightforward.
Aina has been one of Forest’s standout signings since arriving on a free transfer from FC Torino, and letting him leave for nothing would be a questionable decision.
While Osayi-Samuel could be on his way to England, and with Aina’s situation still unresolved, Forest’s summer transfer plans could be an interesting one to keep an eye on.
