Watford Midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru on the Verge of Greek Super League Move
Watford midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is closing in on a move to Greek Super League side Aris, with the English club agreeing a £425,000 deal. The 26-year-old is expected to arrive in Greece on Monday to undergo a medical before completing the transfer.
What Happened?
Dele-Bashiru has already agreed personal terms in principle and is set to sign a three-year contract once the move is finalised. The Nigeria international spent last season on loan at Turkish club Genclerbirligi, where he made 28 league appearances.
Why it Matters for Watford
Since joining Watford from Manchester City in 2019, Dele-Bashiru has scored six goals in 71 Championship matches. His departure will leave a gap in the midfield, but Watford's current league standing of 16th in the Championship, with 57 points from 46 games, suggests they are not in a position to retain all their key players.
What Comes Next?
Dele-Bashiru is expected to complete his move to Aris in the coming days, with the Greek Super League side looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Watford, meanwhile, will be focused on their next fixture, a home match against Fiorentina on July 29th, 2026.
