Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is attracting interest from three unnamed Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports. The 24-year-old Nigeria international, currently with Lazio, has two years remaining on his contract, and discussions about his future are expected to occur after the season concludes. Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth had previously attempted to sign him in January, but Lazio turned down their offers. Dele-Bashiru, who joined Lazio from Turkish side Hatayspor in 2024, has also drawn attention from Trabzonspor. Despite his current satisfaction at the Italian club, sources close to the player indicate he is open to a return to the Premier League. The midfielder previously played in England for Sheffield Wednesday before his move abroad.
A player who left the Premier League just two seasons ago is now being pursued for a return by three clubs, despite not having broken into Lazio's starting XI consistently. This renewed attention suggests his profile is rising faster than his on-pitch impact in Italy justifies. If Dele-Bashiru moves back, it will be based more on potential than proven performance in Europe's top leagues.
