Brighton and Hove Albion have expressed interest in acquiring Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, a talented midfielder currently on loan at Lazio from Turkey’s Hatayspor.
The 23-year-old Nigerian international has made a significant impact since joining the Serie A club last season, which included an option for Lazio to make the transfer permanent.
With just seven months into his loan, Bashiru has garnered attention from the English Premier League.
Having honed his skills at Manchester City’s academy, the prospect of returning to England is enticing for the young midfielder, who is eager to establish himself in a more competitive environment.
Reports from Sports Witness UK indicate that Brighton have initiated discussions with Lazio to express their interest in the player.
Although the Seagulls recently acquired Paraguayan midfielder Diego Gomez from Inter Miami, they are still in pursuit of additional midfield talent this January transfer window.
Despite Brighton’s enthusiasm, Lazio is reportedly unwilling to part ways with Ayodele-Bashiru, viewing him as an integral part of their future plans.
This season, the midfielder has notched up four goals and two assists in 17 appearances, solidifying his reputation as a promising player in European football.
