Queens Park Rangers’ Bright Osayi-Samuel’s transfer to Belgian giants Club Brugge has collapsed amid Leicester City, Brighton and Fulham interests.
Osayi-Samuel, 22, had been granted permission from QPR to head to Belgium to undergo a medical after they accepted a £5million bid from Brugge.
But Football Insider learnt the move has fallen through at the eleventh hour after Osayi-Samuel knocked it back.
He opted against heading to the Continent for the medical and will be in the QPR squad for their final match of the season against West Brom on Wednesday.

The forward had withdrawn from the team for Saturday’s Championship clash versus Millwall, which they won 4-3.
But he is now set to end the season at Loftus Road before deciding his future.
That has paved the way for his other suitors, who include Premier League duo Leicester and Brighton and Championship promotion chasers Fulham.
They have sounded it clear they are willing to match the £5m offer from Brugge for the wide forward.
Osayi-Samuel’s other previous suitors had been newly promoted Leeds and Southampton, who expressed their interest during the January window.
QPR knocked back enquiries for Osayi-Samuel earlier in the year and triggered an option to extend his contract by 12 months in February.
But that deal expires in the summer of 2021.
Osayi-Samuel has had an outstanding season for Mark Warburton’s side, scoring six goals and supplying nine assists from 39 matches in all competitions.

Really? Turning down a champions League team where you are sure to be a starter, just confirms how these lads get badly advised in England. They constantly fail to see anything good outside the UK. Evidence of the grassroot brainwashing happening in England on daily bases, the smell of a spell.
My bro u said it all
@Glory you’re right and the truth is that they all want to represent England that is their most highest dreams including Saka but what pains me is they are actually doing it against their own race. And they will smile home when they win against their own race. What a shame to the black race. Benin Boy Osayi, Yoruba pikin Saka and Igbo man Eze all want to represent their colonial masters. Yeye pikins all in the name of fame and not welfare because these guys got it all from clubsides already.
Honestly, @ Chima Samuel, we ain’t clamouring for these players to switch to Nigeria because we lack players. Anyone of them having such imaginations, definitely must be existing in vain day dreaming. It’s just out of pain seeing how the Western world end up wasting their talent due to preference of their own kind that makes most of us clamour for their invitation, just so their career can blossom even more. I truly haven’t missed n will never miss any such players who willingly choose other countries ahead of nigeria.
Na So!
I think osayi agŕeed to play for naija if he gets a call up from eagles boss. As for his decision I think he is right, I am not a fan of the Belgium league, I think he deserves more. I honestly prefer Ajax rangers psv Porto benfica sporting Lisbon or better he move to the French league 1
