Three Turkish clubs interested in elder brother of Super Eagles midfielder

Tom Dele-Bashiru, the elder brother of Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, is attracting interest from three Turkish clubs as he enters the final year of his contract with the English Championship side.

According to Sky Sports News reporters Anthony Joseph and Dharmesh Sheth, Istanbul Başakşehir, Kocaelispor, and Antalyaspor are exploring potential loan deals for the Watford midfielder.

Dele-Bashiru, who joined Watford in the summer of 2019, has made 81 appearances for the Hornets across all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing four assists.

His performances have caught the eye of Turkish sides looking to strengthen their squads, particularly in midfield areas.

Istanbul Başakşehir is reported to be leading the pursuit, seeking to inject energy and creativity into their midfield as part of a wider squad rebuild.

Meanwhile, Kocaelispor and Antalyaspor are considering Dele-Bashiru as a key addition to help boost their respective ambitions in the new campaign.

Watford hold the option to extend Dele-Bashiru’s contract by a further year, but with negotiations expected to intensify in the coming months.

The player’s versatility and work rate make him an attractive option for Turkish teams, who see him as a potential difference-maker in their campaigns.
