QPR midfielder Geoff Cameron has predicted that in-demand duo Ebere Eze and Bright Osayi-Samuel are capable of making the step up to the Premier League and advised them to be consistent when they do. 

Eze and Osayi-Samuel have been the beating heart of QPR's attacking play this season, grabbing 17 goals and 15 assists between them in the Championship so far.

The performances of the duo have not gone unnoticed and both have drawn interest from Premier League clubs during the 2019/20 campaign.

Eze has been the more impressive of the two and it was reported last month that Tottenham Hotspur, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace had all shown an interest.

Osayi-Samuel has produced some dazzling performances of his own this term and in January there were suggestions that multiple top-flight sides were keeping tabs on the winger, with Southampton leading the chase.

In early March, QPR first-team coach Neil Banfield suggested that the west London club had to be "realistic" and that both players would be sold if the right offers came in.

Speaking to West London Sport, Cameron offered some advice to his teammates.

He said: “I did seven years in the Premier League and played against some good players.

“My biggest advice to Ebs and Brighty would be that they have to be consistent – perform in every single game – and their intelligence on the pitch has to continue to grow.

“What I tell them is that they have to be consistent and make an impact even when the games are ugly and things aren’t going their way. They have to then find a way to be that creative spark.

"With the abilities that Ebs and Bright have, there’s a lot of those kind of players in the Premier League – numbers 10s who can play off the front, or wingers. The competition is steep.

“Being the creative guys at QPR, they need to take on more responsibility and more on their shoulders.

“They’ve stepped up to that and done a fantastic job. I think the future is very bright for them.”

The Verdict

This is some sound advice from Cameron, who with 168 appearances under his belt, knows the Premier League.

It is difficult to see the R's holding on to both Eze and Osayi-Samuel in the upcoming transfer window but they may be able to keep the latter for at least one more season.

The duo have been two of the most exciting young attackers in the Championship this season, so it is no surprise top-flight sides are interested – it will be interesting to see whether or not they can cut at that level.
