The transfer of the new number 10 of the senior national team of Nigeria Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to Lazio is almost done with the 23 year old set for a trip to Rome to complete his medical, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
As we first reported before his competitive debut for Nigeria, a fee was agreed with Turkish side Hatayaspor for his transfer but the move stalled a bit due to difference in wage demand, but that has been resolved with the representative of the player.
Dele-Bashiru who scored the leveler for Nigeria in the 1-1 draw against South Africa during the world cup qualifiers is expected in Rome before Friday for a routine medical before his deal will be made public by both teams.
Last season, the former Manchester City youth team prospect showed his worth in Turkey for modest side Hatayaspor scoring 8 goals with 5 assists in 36 games, in what was his first season in the league following his move from English League one side Sheffield Wednesday.
