Super Eagles target, Eberechi Eze, has won three Player of the Year awards at Queens Park Rangers end of season awards, informs the official website of the Hoops.
The attacking midfielder scooped QPR’s Sportito Supporters’ Player of the Year, Ray Jones Players’ Player of the Year and the Junior Hoops Player of the Year awards for the 2019-2020 season.
The 2019-2020 campaign has been Eze’s most successful season as a professional in terms of goal contribution – 21 spread across 45 matches.
However, Bright Osayi-Samuel finished second behind Eze in the Supporters Player of the Year vote.
The Club Brugge-linked winger won two awards; the Kiyan Prince Goal of the Season for his brilliant strike against Birmingham City and Daphne Biggs Supporters’ Young Player of the Year award, which he retained, having won it last season.
This season, Osayi-Samuel has recorded 36 appearances in the Championship, scoring five goals and producing eight assists.
The two attack-minded players are under contract with Queens Park Rangers until the end of next season but have been linked with summer moves following their brilliant shows.
Meanwhile, three English clubs have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Osayi-Samuel after discovering that the Nigerian-born winger has put the brakes on a proposed move to Belgian champions Club Brugge.
1stnewsonline.com gathered that the Queens Park Rangers dazzler’s transfer to Club Brugge has collapsed amid interest from Leicester City, Brighton & Hove and Fulham.
The Hoops gave the green light to Osayi-Samuel to travel to Belgium to undergo a medical, but the Nigerian opted against heading to Bruges.
The 22-year-old is expected to be named in Queens Park Rangers’ matchday squad in their final match of the 2019-2020 season at West Brom on July 22, and will make a decision on his future at the end of the season.
