The former QPR star has aspirations of going to England but is tasked with helping to convince his national team-mates to leave England and move to Turkey
Super Eagles defender Bright Ossai-Samuel has emerged as a key weapon for Fenerbahce to persuade Leicester City striker Keleci Iheanacho to sign with the Turkish club, Soccernet says. .ng reported.
Fenerbahce are reported to be interested in signing Iheanacho, possibly during the winter transfer window, or if he becomes a free agent in the summer.
The Turkish giants have made little progress on signing the Leicester striker as the Nigerian striker wants to focus on his job with the Foxes. Iheanacho is Leicester City’s top scorer and leads his team to the top of the Championship.
However, Fenerbahce may have appointed Osai-Samuel to improve the reputation of his national team-mates.
According to Fotospor, Ossai-Samuel held small transfer negotiations with Iheanacho during his recent international break and tried to lure him to Fenerbahce.
Ossai-Samuel is said to have told Iheanacho that Fenerbahce are actively looking for a young striker to replace Edin Dzeko in the long term.
Iheanacho, a key figure in Leicester City’s bid for an immediate return to the English Premier League, finds himself a target for Fenerbahce as his contract with the Foxes is due to expire soon.
Leicester City were relegated to the Championship at the end of the 2022/23 season.
With Ossai-Samuel playing a role behind the scenes, his influence could increase Fenner’s chances of securing the goalscoring sensation.
