Dutch striker backs Bassey amid criticisms
“He is often ridiculed in The Netherlands, but I think Bassey is really tough as a defender,” the 23-year-old Dutch striker told Voetbal International.
“I know that I am certainly not the only Eredivisie striker who thinks so. He is fast, strong and he looks good, I thought that was a really difficult match.” Bassey helped Ajax finish third in the 2022/23 Eredivisie league and booked qualification for the Europa League playoffs. Also, the 23-year-old played a significant role in Glasgow Rangers’ 55th league title victory and won the 2022 Scottish Cup, while also playing a huge role in helping The Gers reach the UEFA Europa League final in Seville, before switching to Holland.All rights reserved.
