Fisayo Dele-Bashiru Unmasked
Here are five things you need to know about the latest Super Eagles sensation, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
1. An Exceptional Athlete
Dele-Bashiru's former coach at Manchester City once raved about his astonishing athletic abilities.
His power, pace, and stamina make him a dynamo in midfield, capable of outmuscling and outrunning his opponents with ease.
This ability was in full force when he held off his South African marker Mothobi Mvala with his back to goal before unleashing that unstoppable effort past Ronwen Williams in goal for the Bafana Bafana.
2. A Modern Box-to-Box Midfielder
The Nigerian international possesses a tremendously well-rounded game. He can drive forward and provide a goal threat, but he also tracks back diligently to contribute defensively.
His box-to-box qualities make him an incredibly valuable asset on the pitch as it helps him to contribute immensely at both ends of the field.
Last season, Dele-Bashiru featured prominently as a central and advanced midfielder for his new club Hatayspor, where he contributed 11 goals and assists in 37 appearances.
3. Vast Untapped Potential
While Dele-Bashiru is already producing at a high level, those who have worked with him from a young age believe he is only scratching the surface of his immense natural talent.
With the right application, he could become an unstoppable midfield force for his club and ultimately Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
His form in the Super Lig and debut for Nigeria suggest that the talented midfielder is on the right path.
4. A Product of Man City's Academy
Dele-Bashiru's footballing journey began at the tender age of 8 when he joined the prestigious Manchester City youth setup.
This elite training has laid the foundations for his professional career, and it's clear that the club has played a crucial role in his development.
5. A Quiet, Humble Personality
Despite his abundant gifts, the midfielder is described as a quiet, low-key character who simply gets on with his work.
A quick tour of his social media platforms will corroborate Dele-Bashiru's quiet lifestyle and utmost dedication to his career.
His humble personality perfectly complements his tireless work rate on the pitch and Nigerians cannot wait to see more.
With his combination of athleticism, skill, potential, and drive, all the tools are there for Dele-Bashiru to become a Nigerian superstar.
He just needs to sustain his current hot streak while adding consistency to his game, there's no telling how far he can go.
