Lazio Midfielder Looks To Stay Despite Premier League Interest

Staying With A Point To Prove

24-year-old attacking midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru looks set to stay at Serie A club Lazio despite interest from a host of clubs in Europe.

Dele-Bashiru had agreed personal terms last week with Bournemouth however, a fee was never agreed so the deal was cancelled.

Other Premier League clubs were rumoured to be interested in the Nigerian international such as Nottingham Forest, but now it seems like Dele-Bashiru has opted to stay at Lazio.

A prospect of the Manchester City academy and regular at Sheffield Wednesday, Dele-Bashiru has yet to contribute a goal or an assist for Lazio this season in 10 appearances.

His season has been hampered by injuries, missing over two months of action with a hamstring injury and is making most of his appearances off the bench.

Despite a lack of game time in his return from injury, Dele-Bashiru will stay at Lazio hoping to get some regular minutes back in the tank.

If his playing time hasn't increased by the end of the season, it is entirely possibly that Dele-Bashiru's name will be back in and around more transfer rumours come the summer.
