Fulham have confirmed the signing of Nigerian defender, Calvin Bassey from Ajax for an undisclosed fee on a 4-year contract.
According to a statement released on their official club website on Friday, the 23-year-old Super Eagles defender has agreed a contract until the summer of 2027, with an option to extend by a further 12 months, while he will wear the number three shirt for his new club side.
Speaking on his move to Fulham, the Nigeria international who made his debut for the Super Eagles in a World Cup Qualifier last year, and now has 10 caps to his name told the FFCtv.
“I know how big a club Fulham is. They always have quality players, they’re playing in the Premier League – the best league in the world – so I didn’t have to think much about it.
“It’s a London club as well, so it’s always a plus to go home! I’m happy it’s all done now and I can just focus on the football and help the team build on last season, when they did amazing.” the ex-Glasgow Rangers player said.
