Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey has been tipped for a move to EPL relegation-battlers Leeds United and Southampton as he continues to struggle at Ajax since he moved there in the summer transfer window, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
“If I were Ajax, I would call Southampton and Leeds United and say; ‘You can have him for €12.5m,” Van der Gijp tells Veronica Inside.
“Where did it go wrong ? How dissatisfied will they be there. Two years ago, everyone thought they were going to become the Bayern Munich of the Netherlands. Totally untouchable.Bassey shone in a more counter-attacking approach during the 2021/22 season at Rangers; thriving as a left-back and as a left-sided centre-half as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side knocked out RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund on route to the final.
According to Bassey’s representatives, Arsenal, West Ham United and Aston Villa came calling for the one-time Leicester City prospect before his big-money move to the Dutch capital.All rights reserved.
