Dele-Bashiru’s journey at Manchester City began when he was just six years old, progressing through the ranks to the first team.
Despite his promising start, his tenure at City was cut short after he declined a contract renewal in 2019, citing the need for regular first-team football.
“It is frustrating that I have not played more since [his City debut], but that is why I am so keen to be here at Watford, where I can hopefully get more game time,” Dele-Bashiru told reporters upon signing with Watford.
His decision was influenced by protracted negotiations with City that ultimately fell through.
Tom’s father, Bandele Bashiru, expressed discontent with the club’s handling of the contract talks.
