# Everton: Frank Lampard requests to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel

**Frank Lampard has reportedly now personally requested to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel for [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/).**

### The Lowdown: Solid season

The 24-year-old is having a solid season at Fenerbahce, where he has scored two goals and supplied a further five assists playing as a right-back at times, and he has generally been a mainstay in a team who have played in the Europa League and Conference League ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/358948/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

In the Turkish Super Lig, he ranks as their sixth-best performer, averaging more dribbles per game (2.3) than any of his team-mates ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/223/Show/Turkey-Fenerbahce)).

Nonetheless, he could well be an exciting arrival at Goodison Park in the summer.

### The Latest: Lampard requests

As per [En Son Haber](https://www.ensonhaber.com/kralspor/transfer-dosyasi/everton-osayi-samueli-istiyor), Lampard has now made a personal request to add Osayi-Samuel to Everton’s transfer list for the summer.

The 24-year-old currently holds a market value of €6m (£5.1m), and the Toffees will ‘knock on Fenerbahce’s door’ after the campaign has ended.

### The Verdict: Bargain

Signing a player for just £5.1m in today’s market holds real value, and the Blues could be getting a bargain on their hands if they were to snap up Osayi-Samuel for that amount.

Described as a player with ‘blistering pace’ and who ‘terrifies defenders’ by his former QPR manager Mark Warburton ([Kilburn Times](https://www.kilburntimes.co.uk/news/qpr-manager-mark-warburton-praises-outstanding-bright-osayi-samuel-after-3830676)), he could offer Everton another dimension in attack and possibly give defenders in the Premier League a few problems.

Also, at only 24 years of age, he could be an ideal replacement for the 33-year-old Seamus Coleman at right-back.
