# Celtic: Hoops interested in Bright Osayi-Samuel

**Celtic have been name-checked with an interest in Fenerbahce winger Bright Osayi-Samuel by Turkish outlet [Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/fenerbahce-osayi-samuel-icin-teklif-bekliyor-2234650).**

### The Lowdown: Osayi-Samuel profiled

Osayi-Samuel only joined Fenerbahce in [January](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/transfers/spieler/358948) from Queens Park Rangers and is under contract with the Turkish giants until [2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/profil/spieler/358948).

The 23-year-old, who has netted [19](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948) times during his career, has struggled with his current employers. He has scored just [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948) goal and registered a [single](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948) assist in his [19](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948) games for the club.

Described as [‘dangerous’](https://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/warburton-tells-bright-to-focus-on-qpr-as-rotherham-boss-admits-they-absolutely-smoked-us) by QPR manager Mark Warburton last year, the Nigerian can play [anywhere](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/profil/spieler/358948) across the front three, with his main position coming on the [right wing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/profil/spieler/358948).

### The Latest: Fenerbahce future

[Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/fenerbahce-osayi-samuel-icin-teklif-bekliyor-2234650) shared a story on Osayi-Samuel on Tuesday morning. Within their report, they claimed that Fenerbahce are waiting for an offer for the winger, with both Celtic and Rangers credited with an interest.

A fee of €3m (£2.5m) is touted and it [seems](https://sportwitness.co.uk/celtic-rangers-set-fight-exciting-forward-club-want-e3m-ready-evaluate-offers/) that Fenerbahce are willing to sell by evaluating any offers they receive, with Osayi-Samuel struggling to adapt to Vítor Pereira’s new system.

### The Verdict: A gamble

Osayi-Samuel hasn’t had the best of years, so bringing him to Celtic Park could be a gamble. However, you’d expect that the Hoops would have looked into his career, and if he can get back to the form of the 2019/20 season, a £2.5m deal could be a steal.

He was involved in [14](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948) Championship goals for QPR in that campaign and picked up [two](https://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/nigeria-duo-eze-and-osayi-samuel-dominate-qpr-end-of-season/1en6j3rbw1kgw1u7kne0b5abv5) club accolades as a result.

Osayi-Samuel is still just 23 years of age and already has more than [200](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948) senior appearances under his belt, so if Ange Postecoglou can get the best out of him, a £2.5m move would be seen as a great piece of business from Celtic in the long run.
