Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, the 23-year-old Super Eagles midfielder, is once again attracting attention from Premier League clubs, following a string of standout performances in Italy’s Serie A with SS Lazio. Dele-Bashiru, who spent 11 years at Manchester City’s youth academy, is now being courted by top-flight English clubs, eager to bring him back to his home country.

His journey from Manchester to Lazio has been anything but conventional. After his contract expired with Sheffield Wednesday, Dele-Bashiru joined Turkish side Hatayspor in 2023, but his stay there was short-lived. His impressive displays in Turkey earned him a high-profile move to Lazio, where he has quickly established himself as a key player.

This season, Dele-Bashiru has been in electric form, contributing two goals and two assists in the Europa League, along with two goals in Serie A, including a crucial strike against Atalanta. His performances have not only bolstered Lazio’s midfield but also caught the eye of several Premier League clubs looking to bolster their squads with young talent.

A return to the Premier League would be a homecoming for the Nigerian talent, who spent much of his youth career in England. With his rapid rise in Italy, Dele-Bashiru seems poised for a promising future in one of Europe’s top leagues.
