HITC Sport understands Blackpool have rejected bids for the starlet.

Blackpool have turned down offers from several unnamed Championship clubs for highly-rated attacker Bright Osayi-Samuel, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Osayi-Samuel only made his senior debut for Blackpool in March 2015 but has already established himself as a key member of the Seasiders side.
The winger burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old making his first-team debut for Blackpool in the Championship in the 2014-15 season, making six appearances under Lee Clark.
Osayi-Samuel went on to establish himself as a regular last season in the Blackpool team in League One under new manager Neil McDonald, featuring in 26 games in all competitions and he has started all four of Blackpool’s games in League Two this term.
Scouts from Premier League and Championship clubs have been flocking to Bloomfield Road to cast an eye over Osayi-Samuel’s progress and the 19-year-old is regarded as one of the best young prospects in the Football League.

The 19-year-old was raised in Spain but moved to England when he was 10 years old and is a product of Blackpool’s youth system.
Osayi-Samuel’s suitors are understood to have made offers in the region of £500,000 for the skilful attacker, but Blackpool have rejected the overtures.
Blackpool are reluctant to lose Osayi-Samuel as they look to build a side capable of winning promotion from League Two this season, but are bracing themselves for more bids for the player before the close of the transfer window next week.
