Speaking to Fenerbahçe Television at the airport, Osayi-Samuel said :"Playing with the big stars is a great chance for young players. It is a great honor for me to have the chance to play with a player like Mesut özil.

"I used to watch him when he was young, and now I will train with him on the same field and play on the same team together. What I have to do is work hard and benefit from his experiences."
 
On his message to the fans of the Yellow Canaries, he said : "To give a message to our fans, as I said before, I like challenges. Therefore, I was transferred to a big club like Fenerbahçe.

"I believe that if I work hard and do the right things on the field, I will make them happy."

Osayi-Samuel departs Queens Park Rangers after scoring thirteen goals in 115 appearances spread across three and a half seasons.
