Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Crystal Palace are reportedly leading the race to sign Fenerbahce defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk, the London club is ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United in the race to sign Osayi-Samuel.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has consistently been linked with a move away from Fenerbahce since his arrival at the club from Sky Bet Championship outfit, Queens Park Rangers in January 2021.<\/p>\n

The versatile defender was close to leaving Fenerbahce in the summer but the Turkish giants didn\u2019t receive a suitable offer.<\/p>\n

Palace are now poised to sign him when the transfer window reopens next month.<\/p>\n

Osayi-Samuel played a significant role in Fenerbahce\u2019s triumph in the Turkish Cup last season.<\/p>\n

He is expected to be included in Nigeria\u2019s squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
