Bright Osayi-Samuel is set to leave Fenerbahçe after failing to agree on a contract extension, with reports suggesting he has agreed to join Nottingham Forest as a direct replacement for fellow Super Eagles star Ola Aina.

According to Turkish outlet Takvim, Osayi-Samuel and Fenerbahçe held three meetings to discuss a new contract, but no agreement was reached. As a result, the versatile right-back has decided to move to England, with Nottingham Forest securing a preliminary agreement to sign him.
