Nottingham Forest Inquiries Into Midfielder’s Availability

Nottingham Forest has expressed interest in Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, a midfielder currently with Serie A’s Lazio. The club’s inquiries come as the Winter transfer window progresses, signaling potential changes to their squad.

Nottingham Forest’s Transfer Activity

The summer transfer window proved to be quite eventful for Nottingham Forest. After securing a spot in this season’s Europa League, the team focused on strengthening their squad across various positions.

  • Brought in Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz from Juventus on a season-long loan.
  • Made significant signings to enhance their overall performance on the pitch.

Recent Links and Targets

Currently, Nottingham Forest is also eyeing players like Tyler Morton, who is on Liverpool’s roster but has caught the attention of other clubs including Juventus and Lyon.

Dele-Bashiru’s potential move to Nottingham Forest appears more likely after reports by Italian journalist Nicolo Schira. The 24-year-old midfielder joined Lazio last season on loan from Hatayspor and completed a permanent transfer shortly thereafter.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s Career Highlights

Dele-Bashiru, a product of Manchester City’s youth system, began his senior career at Sheffield Wednesday, where he played impressively for 86 matches. His skills earned recognition from then-manager Darren Moore, who praised Dele-Bashiru for his “individual brilliance.”

  • Joined Lazio after a loan from Hatayspor with an obligation to buy.
  • Contributed five goals in 29 appearances for Lazio last season.
  • Currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury but is competing in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Future Prospects

Dele-Bashiru is contracted with Lazio until the summer of 2028. However, with Nottingham Forest’s inquiry into his availability, a potential return to English football could be on the horizon for the midfielder. Observers are keen to see if Forest will proceed with an official bid, which could facilitate a significant career move for the Nigeria international.
