West Ham have been alerted to the possibility of reinforcing their attacking options with the addition of Bright Osayi-Samuel after a TEAMTalk report claimed that QPR are ready to sell their man.
The Nigerian ex-Blackpool winger is out of contract in the summer and talks over fresh terms appear to have broken down.
As a result, Mark Warburton’s side are ready to sanction a sale.
West Ham are among the principal suitors, but there is interest from QPR’s Championship rivals Swansea and Stoke, whilst top division London rivals Crystal Palace seem to be displaying longer-term interest.
Roy Hodgson’s Eagles were interested in Osayi-Samuel during the summer and may be looking to capitalise on Osayi-Samuel’s contract situation along with the Hammers during the January transfer window.
Any move from Palace for Osayi-Samuel would see a reunion at Selhurst Park with former teammate Eberechi Eze – a playmaker that the Hammers tried to sign in the summer.
Osayi-Samuel has featured in 113 games in his time with QPR, scoring 13 goals and assisting 13 more.
The 23-year-old is a versatile option adept on either flank but has even featured in midfield on occasion.

Any move for Osayi-Samuel could represent good value for money for Moyes’ side.
Playing on the right, a move for Osayi-Samuel could provide a meaningful challenge to another former Championship star in ex-Hull winger Jarrod Bowen who joined on the January deadline day of 2020.
However, a deal for the 23-year-old could spell doom for Andriy Yarmolenko, who looks destined to fall down the pecking order at the London Stadium.
