According to Kevin Campbell, Bright Osayi-Samuel would do brilliantly at Glasgow Rangers were he to make the move to Ibrox.
The Lowdown: Osayi-Samuel to leave Fenerbahce
Osayi-Samuel made the move to Fenerbahce in Turkey from QPR in January, but it appears he may already be leaving the club.
Fener are looking to make £15m from player sales, and they are hoping to get £3m for Osayi-Samuel. He has been linked with a switch to Ibrox.
The Latest: Campbell urges Gers to sign winger
Speaking to Football Insider, Campbell has urged the Gers to sign the 23-year-old. He said:
“I think he would be a good signing at £3million.
“He is a player who has been long-linked with Rangers. They have clearly been coveting him for a while.
“A player of that quality for £3million is cheap money. Even though the transfer market in Scotland is different, that is cheap. I think that is about right for a player with a lot still to come.
“He has got bags of pace, he is direct and he is a threat. I think he would do brilliantly in Scotland.”
The Verdict: Worth a punt
Since making the move to Turkey, things have not gone fantastically well for Osayi-Samuel. He has managed just one goal and one assist for the club in 19 appearances (Transfermarkt) and, given Fenerbahce are already considering moving him on, he clearly hasn’t made too big an impact.
However, as he showed with five goals and nine assists in the Championship during the 2019/20 campaign he has plenty of ability and can be a danger down the flank.
At 23 years of age, he has 19 goals throughout his senior career and has plenty of time to improve as well. For Steven Gerrard and co, he may just be worth a punt at a measly £3m.
