Campbell excited by Rangers pursuit of Osayi-Samuel as £15m fire sale reported

Published on

Kevin Campbell has heaped praise on Bright Osayi-Samuel as Rangers reportedly re-ignite their pursuit of the Fenerbahce winger.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Arsenal and Everton forward said the 23-year-old would be a "cheap" signing for a fee in the region of £3million.

According to Fotospor (3 June), Rangers and Celtic are both back in the hunt to sign Osayi-Samuel just five months on from his move from QPR to Fenerbahce.

It is said that the wide-attacker could be available for as little as £3million this summer with the Turkish side looking to raise £15million in player sales.

When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts on the winger potentially moving to Ibrox, Campbell said: "I think he would be a good signing at £3million.

"He is a player who has been long-linked with Rangers. They have clearly been coveting him for a while.

"A player of that quality for £3million is cheap money. Even though the transfer market in Scotland is different, that is cheap. I think that is about right for a player with a lot still to come.

"He has got bags of pace, he is direct and he is a threat. I think he would do brilliantly in Scotland."

Osayi-Samuel's former manager Mark Warburton told the Kilburn Times that the Nigerian attacker has "blistering pace".

He has four years remaining on his contract at Fenerbahce.
