EPL: Why I signed for Fulham – Super Eagles star, Calvin Bassey

Super Eagles defender, Calvin Bassey, has spoken for the first time since he joined for Fulham from Ajax.

Bassey has put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Premier League side.

“The Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Calvin Bassey from Ajax for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance, which is expected to be received during the early part of next week.

“The 23-year-old defender has agreed a contract until the summer of 2027, with a Club option to extend by a further 12 months.

“Bassey will wear the number three shirt this season.“

Speaking on his move to Fulham, Bassey told 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.”

Born in Italy, Bassey moved to London at a young age, before getting a first taste of academy football at Leicester City.
