Some Queens Park Rangers fans are losing patience with Bright Osayi-Samuel as Celtic reportedly joined Crystal Palace in the race for the winger’s signature.
Osayi-Samuel is said to be stalling on signing a new QPR contract as he awaits an approach from Crystal Palace (Sky Sports).
But it is also being claimed that Celtic are waiting in the wings and believe they can sign the played valued at £5 million by the R’s, thanks to Gary Penrice’s connections (Scottish Sun).
Penrice helped to take Osayi-Samuel to Loftus Road from Blackpool three years ago, but now works as Celtic’s head of recruitment.
Osayi-Samuel scored five goals and assisted nine in 37 Championship games for QPR last season.
But the R’s are said to be resigned to losing the 22-year-old (Scottish Sun), who could leave for nothing next summer if a move fails to materialise and he doesn’t renew his contract.
And the saga is not going down well in West London.
This is what those of a QPR persuasion are saying on Twitter…
QPR have already lost one of last season’s star players, Eberechi Eze, to Crystal Palace, but Celtic have yet to utilise Penrice’s Loftus Road connections.
