Ex-inter Milan Coach Endorses Lazio And Nigeria Star Fisayo Dele-bashiru As A Winger

Former Atalanta and Sassuolo manager Angelo Gregucci believes Nigerian star Fisayo Dele-Bashiru possesses the versatility to excel in multiple roles for Lazio, Soccernet.ng reports .

Since joining Lazio on loan from Hatayspor during the summer transfer window, Dele-Bashiru has been utilised primarily as either a deep-lying box-to-box midfielder or an attacking midfielder.

Dele-Bashiru showed his attacking brilliance in his preferred midfield role by scoring his second Serie A goal of the season in Lazio's 1-1 draw with Ademola Lookman's Atalanta in their final game of 2024.

However, Lazio head coach Marco Baroni decided to experiment by deploying Dele-Bashiru as a left winger during the team's 1-1 Serie A draw with Cesc Fabregas' Como on January 10.

Although Lazio were unable to secure a win, Dele-Bashiru delivered a commendable performance in his new role, registering impressive statistics: one key pass, three duels won, two shots blocked, two successful dribbles from three attempts, two fouls committed, and one tackle.
