Leeds United will reportedly have to have £5 million to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel from Queens Park Rangers in the summer transfer window.
AllNigeriaSoccer reported in May of interest from Leeds among a number of clubs in Osayi-Samuel.
With QPR having failed to finish in the Championship playoffs this season, it is very likely that Rangers will sell the 22-year-old midfielder, who has “got that sheer pace which terrifies defenders”, according to his manager Mark Warburton’s comments published in The Brent & Kilburn Times in January 2020.
According to LancsLive, Burnley and West Bromwich Albion are also interested in Osayi-Samuel, with the report adding that QPR value the former Blackpool man at £5 million.
Stats
According to WhoScored, Osayi-Samuel made 34 starts and three substitute appearances in the Championship for QPR this season, scoring five goals and providing eight assists in the process.
Good signing for Leeds United?
Osayi-Samuel may have only played in the lower tiers of English football so far in his career, but the 22-year-old is hugely talented.
For the reported transfer fee of £5 million, Leeds would get a player who will certainly develop and progress in the coming years.
Pablo Hernandez is not getting any younger, and Osayi-Samuel would give Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa a good option on the substitutes’ bench.
