English Premier League side, Brighton and Hove Albion, have enquired from Lazio about the availability of Super Eagles midfielder, Fisayo Ayodele-Bashiru, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 23-year-old attack-minded midfielder, joined the Italian Serie A side on loan from Turkish Super Lig side, Hatayspor last season. His loan move to Lazio included the option to buy at the end of the season.
Just seven months into his loan spell, the Nigerian is attracting interest from the English Premier League. Fisayo, who once played at the Manchester City Academy, could be tempted to return to England to make a name for himself.
According to Sports Witness UK, Brighton and Hove Albion have reached out to Lazio’s representatives to let them know aware their interest in the young midfielder, ahead of a possible move.
Brighton & Hove Albion have already signed Paraguayan midfielder, Diego Gomez from Major League Side, Inter Miami, but are still keen on bringing in another midfielder.
However, Lazio have no intention of selling the midfielder, as Dele-Bashiru only joined in the summer, and is a part of the club’s long-term plans. The Le Aquile hierarchy are pleased with his growth and believe he has a very high ceiling in Italy.
Fisayo Ayodele-Bashiru has scored four goals and provided two assists in 17 games for Lazio across all competitions this season.
