NAME: Fisayo Dele-Bashiru
Born in: Hamburg (Germany), on 06/02/2001
ROLE: midfielder
TEAM: Lazio
Starting next season, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru will wear the jersey of Lazio for a figure of around 6 million euros, of which 2 million on loan and 4 million on obligation to buy. After an excellent year that saw him as the absolute protagonist in Turkey, the 2001-born footballer officially ties himself to the Biancoceleste club with a five-year contract worth 1.2 million euros per season until 2029.
He is an attacking midfielder who makes versatility his best feature, as he is capable of performing in almost all areas of the pitch, especially from the midfield upwards. Depending on the needs, the Nigerian can even cover multiple roles, adapting as a midfielder or even an attacker. Thanks to his versatility, Dele-Bashiru has also shown that he is able to insert himself without the ball from the back towards the penalty area, making himself dangerous in many circumstances thanks above all to a good reading of the game. In the last year just spent with the Hatayspor jersey, the former Sheffield Wednesday player has collected a total of 39 appearances, in which he has scored 9 goals, provided 6 assists and received 6 yellow cards in 3227′ total between Süper Lig and Türkiye Kupasi, playing mainly as an attacking midfielder.
Fantasy football advice: the 23-year-old has a lot of room for improvement, which is why we believe that coach Marco Baroni can do a decent job on him. At Lazio, Dele-Bashiru will have several opportunities to carve out the space needed to aspire to a starting spot behind the striker. We recommend his purchase as the 6th slot in the 8-man leagues and the 5th in the 10-man leagues.
