'Pace and power' - The lowdown on Sheffield Wednesday's Dele-Bashiru amid Bristol City links

There's just over a week left of the transfer window and despite Nigel Pearson's eagerness to strengthen his side, there hasn't been much activity coming out of Ashton Gate.

That is down to the lack of transfer funds available with the manager reiterating the need to sell players before bringing any new faces into the squad.

A central defender remains the number one priority but a new midfielder is also a target and reports in the Star linking Sheffield Wednesday's 21-year-old Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to Ashton Gate are certainly an intriguing development.

More specifically a defensive midfielder is one area of the squad where City are lacking depth despite Andy King staying on for another year as a player/coach and the lack of offers for Han-Noah Massengo.

City will be left in a precarious position in regards to the Frenchman if they receive a late offer. With his contract next year expiring they will almost certainly have to sell this summer to avoid losing him for nothing although time could be of the essence to find a much-needed replacement.

In that respect, reports linking Dele-Bashiru to Ashton Gate make sense but whether it's an achievable transfer target remains to be seen. To find out what type of player he is and his situation with the Owls, we spoke to Wednesday's Yorkshire Live reporter Dom Howson.

He is an exciting, dynamic, box-to-box midfielder. He has got everything in his locker to reach the top: pace, power and athleticism.

With his skill set, Dele-Bashiru is more suited to playing higher up the pitch. That is where he can influence proceedings and do more damage.

He is a great ball carrier. His trademark runs from deep frighten defenders and put the opposition on the back foot.

He has got an eye for goal.
