Bright Osayi-Samuel, the Super Eagles defender, played a vital role in Fenerbahce’s 2-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Cup final on Saturday, helping his team claim their first trophy in ten years.
Despite an average season with Fenerbahce, where he made only 23 league appearances, most of which were off the bench, Osayi-Samuel has been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer.
Although Osayi-Samuel was on the bench when Fenerbahce faced their rivals Istanbul Basaksehir, his team did not need his influence, as two first-half goals from Michy Batshuayi put them in front.
Osayi-Samuel was introduced into the game in the 75th minute to bolster the defense, and he had a good showing, helping his side defend their lead. The match ended 2-0 at the Gursel Aksel Stadium in Izmir, and the victory gave Osayi-Samuel his first trophy in Turkey.
Bright Osayi-Samuel’s contribution to Fenerbahce’s Turkish Cup victory is a testament to his talent and potential. Despite an average campaign, he played a vital role in helping his team claim their first trophy in ten years. His impressive performances have also caught the attention of Premier League clubs, and a move to England could be on the cards this summer.
