The agent of Ajax defender Calvin Bassey admits he had Premier League offers last summer.

Bassey left Rangers for Ajax before the start of the season.

An agent from Unique Sports Group told Own Goal Nigeria: "Arsenal contacted us and we let Rangers know, but they did not follow up on the discussion.

"We also had interest from Aston Villa and West Ham, but in the end Ajax presented the best offer not in terms of money, but for its development.

"They promised regular football."
