Crystal Palace: Fans react as Bright Osayi-Samuel could be on the move - Crystal Palace Transfer Rumours

Many Crystal Palace fans are reacting to the reports which suggest that Bright Osayi-Samuel is linked to the South London side.

Crystal Palace were linked with young Championship winger Osayi-Samuel over the course of the summer transfer window, but no transfer materialised.

According to TEAMtalk, and tweeted out by @cpfc_xtra, Queens Park Rangers are however now ready to sell Osayi-Samuel after failed attempts to tie him down to a new contract – and Palace are still keen on the player. West Ham, Swansea and Stoke are also said to be monitoring the situation.

The 23-year-old winger has already made 192 career appearances between QPR and his former club Blackpool, scoring 18 goals and recording 19 assists, (Transfermarkt).

Last season was certainly one of his best as he tallied five goals and eight assists whilst also averaging 1.2 shots, 2.9 successful dribbles and 1.2 key passes per game (WhoScored).

He could be a good signing for the Eagles, especially with him possibly being available on a free next summer. The Eagles could pick up a bright young talent without dipping into their transfer budget. As a result, a potential move for Osayi-Samuel would seem like a no-brainer for Roy Hodgson’s side.
