Fulham closing deal for Ajax centre-back Calvin Bassey

Fulham appear to have sealed an £18 million deal to sign centre-back Calvin Bassey.

The former Rangers star is set to join up with the Premier League team from Ajax.

Bassey, who is left footed and only 25, is seen as the ideal player to fit into Marco Silva's system.

He played 25 Eredivisie games last term and had a mixed experience with the Dutch giants.

Bassey, who fell out of favor towards the end of last season, will have a medical in the coming days.

He will be hoping to go straight into the Fulham first team, but may have to fight for his spot in the beginning.
