Fulham chief Tony Khan: We've had Bassey a top target for long time

Fulham chief Tony Khan is delighted with the arrival Calvin Bassey.

The Nigeria defender joined Fulham yesterday from Ajax. He's penned a deal to 2027.

Khan said: “I'm thrilled to welcome Calvin Bassey to Fulham Football Club!

“He's a young and versatile defender; a homegrown player who developed at Leicester City's academy before moving on to play for Rangers and then for Ajax, as well as Nigeria's national team.

“Calvin's been a top target for us, so we're all delighted that he's committed for the long term with Fulham, and we're looking forward to watching him progress. Come on Fulham!"
