Burnley, West Brom Preparing Late Bids For Queens Park Rangers Winger Osayi-Samuel

Published: January 29, 2020

Burnley and Premier League promotion candidates West Brom are battling it out to sign Nigerian-born Bright Osayi-Samuel, according to reports.

The print edition of the Sun claims the Baggies and Clarets are preparing to make late bids for Osayi-Samuel ahead of the close of the winter transfer market on Friday, January 31.

West Brom are targeting the winger as they have identified him as a player who can assist in their promotion push.

The former Blackpool starlet is having an excellent season at Queens Park Rangers, scoring 5 goals with 5 assists to go with it in 23 matches across all competitions.

Osayi-Samuel arrived at The Hoops on a three-year deal in the summer of 2017, meaning he is out of contract in the summer if the London club don't activate the one-year option on his contract.

The 22-year-old has 130 matches under his belt in the English Football League, logging 6,107 minutes.
