Fulham Football Club is eyeing the acquisition of Ajax center-back, Calvin Bassey, in a bid to strengthen their defensive lineup.
According to The Athletic, the West London club has made an impressive offer of £15 million (approximately ₦15.5 billion) to Ajax for the Nigerian defender.
Bassey, who previously played for Rangers, had a decent debut season with the Dutch giants, making 39 appearances.
His move from Rangers to Ajax last summer, costing £20million, established him as the most expensive Nigerian defender in history.
Although he still has four years remaining on his current contract with Ajax, he is believed to be available for transfer during this summer’s transfer window.
