SHEFFIELD Wednesday have swooped to sign rookie Manchester City midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
Dele-Bashiru, 19, has agreed personal terms on a three-year contract and passed his medical.

He is a graduate of City’s academy with the exact nature of the deal due to be announced this week.
Speaking to the Wednesday website, the teenager said: “I’m honoured to sign for Sheffield Wednesday and I’m excited to be here.
“I’m at an age now where I want to be playing first team football and I am confident it will fall into place for me here.
“I know there are other players in the same position but competition for places is a positive.
“My game is about power, strength and pace, I like to go box to box and I like taking on a shot too.
“The manager has shown a desire to bring me to the club and that means a lot. He has a good CV and I’m sure this is the right platform for me at this stage of my career.”
While Dele-Bashiru is leaving the Etihad, one player who could be moving in is Ferran Torres.
Goal claims the Valencia winger, 20, has agreed a five-year deal to replace Leroy Sane at the Ethad.
Pep Guardiola sold the German to Bayern Munich when he rejected a new contract.
And the decision has now paved the way for Torres to become City’s latest attacking addition.
