Despite the optimism surrounding his recent form, the 27-year-old’s return to the English Premier League remains uncertain.
Speaking to Soccernet.ng in an earlier interview, Osayi-Samuel made no secret of his desire to return to England after his contract with Fenerbahçe expires.
“I think everyone knows that my ambition is to play English football, to play in the [English] Premier League. No disrespect, Fenerbahçe have done so much for me in Turkey. But my ambition is to play in the Premier League. So when I feel that the time is right, I will take it,” he said.
“I had some serious injuries. I didn’t get any playing time in some games. The coach made that decision. It was a bit disappointing for me. I really want to play for this team. My contract ends at the end of the year. I will talk to the club president about it. They said they will offer me a new contract. Let’s see what happens at the end of the season.” he said, as earlier reported by Soccernet.ng.
Talks between the player’s representatives and Fenerbahçe’s board are said to be progressing well, with the Turkish giants determined to ward off interest from several European clubs, including teams from the Premier League.
