West Brom-focused Twitter account @WBAReport recently posted a tweet sharing some news reported by The Express and Star.
They published an article earlier this month claiming that the Baggies are “monitoring” Queens Park Rangers attacker Bright Osayi-Samuel.
This post from @WBAReport describes Osayi-Samuel as a “standout performer in the Championship” this season. As per Transfermarkt, the 22-year-old has scored five goals and provided eight assists in his 29 league appearances for QPR this season. This means that only four Baggies players have scored more league goals than Osayi-Samuel this term. At the same time, the attacker has also provided more Championship assists than all of West Brom’s players except for Matheus Pereira.
With this in mind, it might not be a huge surprise that plenty of Baggies fans have responded positively to @WBAReport’s tweet linking West Brom with the player. Read the reactions of some West Brom fans to this post in the tweets below.

I’d take him over diangana tbh, grady is a better player but wed probably get him cheaper

What do we think?
As per Transfermarkt, Osayi-Samuel’s QPR contract is currently set to expire at the end of June 2021. With that in mind, as well as his impressive Championship statistics for the 2019/20 campaign, it may be understandable why the 22-year-old might be on the Baggies’ radar this summer.
