Nigerian and Watford midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is reportedly attracting interest from Greek Super League side Aris Thessaloniki as uncertainty continues to surround his future at Vicarage Road.
The 26-year-old Nigeria-eligible midfielder has been linked with a potential move to Greece, where Aris are believed to be exploring options to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
While the speculation remains at an early stage, the possibility of a transfer has generated interest due to Dele-Bashiru’s contract situation at Watford.
With no publicly confirmed expiry date attached to his current deal, the Championship club could risk losing the midfielder without receiving a transfer fee should he depart as a free agent.
Dele-Bashiru, who is valued at €1.8 million according to Transfermarkt, has established himself as a dependable presence in midfield during his time with the Hornets.
Known for his athleticism, ball progression and defensive contributions, he has featured prominently in England’s second tier after developing through the English football system.
His performances for Watford have continued to attract attention from clubs outside England, with Aris reportedly viewing him as an appealing addition due to his experience, age profile and ability to operate effectively in deeper midfield positions.
The Thessaloniki-based club are keen to enhance their options in the middle of the park as they prepare for another campaign aimed at securing domestic success and competing for European qualification places.
A move to Aris would represent Dele-Bashiru’s first experience outside English football and could provide a fresh challenge at a crucial stage of his career.
The switch would also offer the midfielder an opportunity to raise his profile on a different stage while continuing his development in a new league.
