<br>According to Turkish outlet Takvim, Osayi-Samuel and Fenerbahçe held three meetings to discuss a new contract, but no [agreement](https://lustipedia.com/wiki/User:BennyVlm4066) was reached. As a result, the versatile right-back has decided to move to England, with [Nottingham Forest](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:MLKKaylee7874) securing a preliminary agreement to sign him.

<br>Meanwhile, Ola Aina is also expected to leave Nottingham Forest when his contract expires at the end of the season, making Osayi-Samuel a like-for-like replacement for the departing full-back.
<br>
<br>Nottingham Forest has enjoyed a competitive Premier League campaign, improving from their previous relegation battles. The club aims to strengthen their squad further, with Osayi-Samuel’s pace and attacking instincts making him a valuable addition.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>Osayi-Samuel’s move to [Nottingham Forest](http://jacqueshigelin.com/index.php?title=User:CorneliusHamann) would mark a return to [English](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:Muriel31L5218008) football, where he previously played for Queens Park Rangers QPR before moving to Turkey in 2021. His time at [Fenerbahçe](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/merchandising-and-branding/beyond-limits-graduate-ogundana-strengthens-ekiti-football-ecosystem/) has been a success, with the Nigerian defender growing into one of the most dynamic right-backs in Turkish football.

<br>With Ola Aina expected to leave, Osayi-Samuel would bring similar versatility and attacking threat from the right flank. Given Forest’s defensive struggles, signing a player of his pace and tactical awareness could be a smart investment for the club.
<br>
<br>For the Super Eagles, having another Nigerian defender in the Premier League would be a positive development, giving Eric Chelle more top-level options for Nigeria’s World Cup qualifying campaign.
