• An English club is said to be planning a big offer for the Super Eagles star in the summer
• The former QPR fullback was part of the Nigerian squad that finished second at the AFCON

An English club is reportedly planning a big offer for Nigerian international, Bright Osayi-Samuel, amid links with other top clubs in the Premier League.

The Super Eagles defender has been enjoying a good spell since moving to the Turkish League three years ago, and he's a regular player for Fenerbahce.

The former Queens Park Rangers fullback's performance for the Turkish giants has caught the eye of several English clubs, and he could be on the move this summer transfer window.

According to a report by Transfer Postasi, as per Soccernet, English side Leeds United are said to be preparing to make a £7 million bid for Osayi-Samuel this summer.

The Peacocks are already planning for their return to the English Premier League as they currently sit second on the Championship table, three points behind leaders Leicester City and one point ahead of Ipswich Town.

Osayi-Samuel could be Leeds United's first signing if they secure promotion to the EPL, but they face stiff competition from other English clubs for the Nigerian defender.

Reports also claimed that the former Blackpool defender is a transfer target for two Premier League clubs, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Leeds United's planned offer for the Fenerbahce defender is short of his £7.3 million market value, according to Transfermarkt.
