Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, the Super Eagles midfielder has tied the knot to his Moroccan partner, Nana Bensouna, in a private nikkah ceremony held in Manchester, United Kingdom.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that the occasion, which was a quiet celebration surrounded by loved ones was attended by close family members, including the groom’s parents, Otunba and Yeye Jagunmola Dele and Dupe Bashiru-Kaka, as well as the bride’s parents, Mr and Mrs Bensouna.
The wedding comes as Dele-Bashiru gears up for a bigger role at Lazio under new manager Maurizio Sarri. The 23-year-old impressed the Italian tactician during pre-season, featuring in friendlies against Avellino and Fenerbahce, and is now being tipped for a breakout season.
Sarri, who has been publicly vocal about his admiration for the midfielder’s potential, told Pazzidifanta: “Dele-Bashiru is a very strong guy who, if he manages to learn a few moves, can give us a big hand. I have heard good things about him from professionals outside of Lazio. And I’m not talking about the Lazio environment, but about sporting directors from other clubs. Probably he has some qualities, evidently.”
