Crystal Palace are all set to sign the Fenerbahce right-back Bright Osayi-Samuel at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old will be a free agent soon, and the Eagles have agreed on a four-year contract with him, as per Fotomac. He has done quite well for the Turkish club, and he could prove to be a very useful acquisition for Crystal Palace as well.
The Eagles need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, and the Nigerian could prove to be a quality addition for them for a reasonable investment. Osayi-Samuel has played in England before with Queens Park Rangers and Blackpool. The opportunity to return to England will be quite exciting for him.
Crystal Palace have a talented squad, and he will certainly look to make his mark with them in the Premier League.
Osayi-Samuel could be a superb addition
The Eagles need to improve other areas of their squad as well, and signing a player of his quality on a free transfer could prove to be a shrewd acquisition. The player has the potential to do well in the Premier League, and he will look to hit the ground running at Selhurst Park.
He is capable of operating as a right back as well as a wing back. His versatility will be an added bonus for Crystal Palace. He will look to help them improve at both ends of the pitch. The player is at the peak of his career, and he will look to establish himself as one of the best fullbacks in the Premier League next season.
The Turkish outfit will be disappointed to lose a player of his quality in the summer, but they are powerless to stop him from leaving because of his contract situation. Crystal Palace have clearly pulled off a bargain signing, and it remains to be seen whether he can live up to the expectations.
The Eagles are currently 12th in the league table, but a club of their stature should be pushing for top-half finishes. It will be interesting to see if they can improve the squad adequately during the summer window and do well next season.
