Published: July 28, 2020
Championship club Sheffield Wednesday have officially announced the signing of Nigerian box-to-box midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru on undisclosed terms.
The former Flying Eagles invitee has ended an eleven-year association with Manchester City following his move to Hillsborough from the Etihad.
Dele-Bashiru's aim in the upcoming season is to force his way into Sheffield Wednesday's first team.
In his first words after the deal was confirmed, Dele-Bashiru told swfc.co.uk : "I’m honoured to sign for Sheffield Wednesday and I’m excited to be here.
"I’m at an age now where I want to be playing first team football and I am confident it will fall into place for me here.
"I know there are other players in the same position but competition for places is a positive.
"My game is about power, strength and pace, I like to go box to box and I like taking on a shot too.
"The manager has shown a desire to bring me to the club and that means a lot. He has a good CV and I’m sure this is the right platform for me at this stage of my career."
