Fisayo Dele-Bashiru Becomes 6th Lazio Player To Score More Than Three Goals

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru made a significant impact in Lazio’s match against Atalanta on Saturday, scoring his second goal in Serie A and his fourth across all competitions this season.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s remarkable performance has helped solidify Lazio’s position as a standout team in Italy, as they now boast the highest number of players in the league with more than three goals this season.

The goal scored by the Nigerian midfielder was particularly notable as it marked him as the sixth player from Lazio to achieve this milestone in the current campaign.

He found the net first in the game, which ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw at the iconic Stadio Olimpico. The achievement was highlighted by the football statistics account Opta, which pointed out, “Dele-Bashiru (four goals) is the sixth Lazio player to score more than three all-comps goals in 24/25: a record among Serie A teams.”

Opta further elaborated on Lazio’s impressive scoring depth, stating that they currently rank just behind Arsenal and Manchester United among the top five European leagues, with these two clubs having seven players each with four or more goals.

This achievement underscores the attacking capabilities and depth of Lazio as they continue their campaign in both domestic and European competitions.

At just 23 years old, Dele-Bashiru joined Lazio in the summer transfer window, arriving on a season-long loan from Hatayspor, which includes an obligation for Lazio to buy him if he excels during his time with the team. His talents were already apparent in the Turkish Super Lig last season, where he netted nine goals and provided six assists, catching the attention of scouts and football enthusiasts alike.

Despite not starting the majority of his appearances in Serie A—having played in nine matches—Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has proven his efficiency by scoring twice and contributing significantly in the Europa League with an impressive tally of two goals and two assists in just four matches.
