The London based club is keen to sign Nigerian international Bright Osayi-Samuel from Turkish giants Fenerbahçe on a free transfer next summer, as per Fanatik.
The 26-year-old defender, who joined the Turkish club from Queens Park Rangers in 2021, has impressed in Turkey and caught the eye of several Premier League clubs, including Leeds and Wolves.
Osayi-Samuel’s current contract with Fenerbahçe expires at the end of the season, allowing him to negotiate a pre-contract with other clubs starting in January if he doesn’t sign a new deal. Crystal Palace is leading the race to secure his signature, hoping to benefit from his contract situation.

Fenerbahçe is trying to extend his stay, but if talks stall, Palace could bring him back to English football without paying a transfer fee. Osayi-Samuel has been sidelined by a foot injury but is expected to return in November.
As the January window nears, Crystal Palace is positioning itself to make a move for the talented right-back.
