# A Bright Move: West Ham Eye Bargain Swoop for QPR’s Bright Osayi-Samuel

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](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-west-ham-qpr-osayi-samuel-transfer) that QPR are ready to sell their man.

The Nigerian ex-Blackpool winger is [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/profil/spieler/358948)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](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-crystal-palace-close-on-second-signing-from-qpr)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.](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/transfer-news/west-ham-transfer-news-eze-18711416)

Osayi-Samuel has featured in 113 games in his time with QPR, [scoring 13 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/profil/spieler/358948)and assisting 13 more.

The 23-year-old is a versatile option [adept on either flank](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bright-osayi-samuel/profil/spieler/358948) but has even featured in midfield on occasion.

### Read West Ham Verdict

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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51323082) of 2020.

However, a deal for the 23-year-old could spell doom for Andriy Yarmolenko, who[looks destined](https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/exwhuemployee-makes-big-claim-about-west-ham-ace-andriy-yarmolenko/)to fall down the pecking order at the London Stadium.
