Bright Osayi-Samuel: Wolverhampton Wanderers Reportedly Table Offer for Super Eagles Right Back

• Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly made a bid for Bright Osayi-Samuel
• The 26-year-old has impressed for the Turkish side Fenerbache club this season
• The Super Eagles right-back has contributed to nine goals in 34 appearances

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Super Eagles right-back, Bright Osayi-Samuel.

The Premier League club are said to have tabled a €12 million offer for the Fenerbahçe defender.

The 26-year-old has been a key player for the Turkish club this season, contributing nine goals in 34 appearances across all competitions.

His impressive form has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace and Leeds United. Wolves hope to bring Osayi-Samuel back to England after a three-year absence.

As reported by All Nigeria Soccer, the Nigerian international previously played in the top-flight Queens Park Rangers before moving to Turkey in 2021.

However, securing his signature won't be straightforward. His contract with Fenerbahçe runs until 2025, and the club may be reluctant to let him go, considering his upturn in form. Furthermore, he faces stiff competition for a starting spot at Molineux, with Spaniard Nélson Semedo being the first-choice right-back this season, starting 32 Premier League games.

Despite the challenges, Osayi-Samuel has expressed his desire to play in England, and a move to Wolves could be an attractive proposition. With his contract expiring next year, the summer transfer window could see him depart Fenerbahçe if the Turkish club fails to extend his contract.

Osayi-Samuel's bravery during a pitch invasion by Trabzonspor fans earlier this year has also endeared him to the club's supporters.

As reported by Sports News Africa, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) did not charge him, while the opponents received suspensions and hefty fines.
