Osayi-Samuel is a Nigerian born Englishmen brought up in Spain until he was 10 who has already decided to represent Nigeria at full international level should he ever be called up. The 18-year-old (19 in December) is a midfielder who made his Blackpool debut in March and has a one-year extension option on his contract this season.
