EPL Teams Eye Lazio, Nigeria Midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru

Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has become the beautiful bride that has caught the eyes of several English Premier League clubs following an impressive start to his career in Italy with Lazio.

Lazio News 24 reports that he is among a handful of Lazio players being monitored by unnamed Premier League clubs.

Dele-Bashiru joined SS Lazio from Turkish club Hatayspor in July 2024 on a loan deal that included an obligation to buy under certain conditions. Lazio paid €2 million for the dynamic 23-year-old midfielder, securing his services until the end of the season.

The Nigerian has hit the ground running in Serie A, displaying his abilities both domestically and in Europe.

In just four Europa League games, the former Manchester City academy player has contributed two goals and two assists.

His Serie A performances have been equally impactful, featuring in 11 matches and scoring twice, including a vital goal in a 1-1 draw with high-flying Atalanta in December.

Dele-Bashiru’s standout performances have not gone unnoticed.

A potential return to England would mark a significant homecoming for the Hamburg-born midfielder, who grew up in England.

Dele-Bashiru joined Manchester City’s youth setup at the age of eight and spent 11 years at the club.

While he never made a senior appearance for City, he enjoyed success with their youth teams, including winning the U18 Premier League Cup.

The midfielder began his professional career at Sheffield Wednesday in 2020, helping the Owls secure promotion to the Championship two years later.
