Marco Baroni, manager of Lazio, has high hopes for Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, predicting he will evolve into an even more impactful player.

Dele-Bashiru showcased his talent by providing an assist in Lazio’s 2-0 victory over Dutch club Twente on Thursday night. He set up Gustav Isaksen for the second goal just three minutes from the end, marking his second contribution since joining the club this summer.

Baroni expressed confidence that the 23-year-old will enhance Lazio’s strength and competitiveness. “Dele-Bashiru is a very physical player but also possesses quality; he excels at making forward runs,” he said.

“It’ll be a challenging test for him, and it’s crucial to observe how he adapts because he’s clearly improving. I believe he has a very important prospect ahead of him,” Baroni added in an interview with TMW.
