Sports Brief lists the African players Mourinho could work with while coaching the Yellow Canaries.

African players in Fenerbahce

1. Bright Osayi-Samuel (Nigeria)

The Nigerian fullback was one of the important players in Fenerbahce's squad during the just-concluded season, and he could continue his stellar performance under Mourinho next campaign.

Mourinho would like Osayi-Samuel because he's a versatile player who could play as a right-back, right-wing back, or right-winger.

2. Omar Fayed (Egypt)

Fayed is yet to break into Fenerbahce's first team and spent most of this season on loan at Serbian side Novi Pazar.

The Egypt under-23 international will have the opportunity to break into the club's starting lineup with a new manager coming in.

3. Alexander Djiku (Ghana)

The Ghanaian international joined the Turkish giants last summer from Strasbourg and made an immediate impact on the team.
