Fulham target Bassey left out of Ajax Amsterdam training camp squad to Germany
Published: July 24, 2023Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam have omitted Nigeria international Calvin Bassey from their pre-season traveling squad to Germany, fueling speculation that a transfer is on the cards.
The Ajax team, consisting of twenty four players, will be in Herzogenaurach from July 24 to July 29 at the adidas World of Sports campus
Bassey has been heavily linked with a return to England, with Fulham his most likely destination.
The London club have agreed a €21 million transfer fee with Ajax for the Leicester City academy product, securing the player ahead of Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove.
Fulham are still yet to agree personal terms with Bassey, but are optimistic to make him their first summer signing of the transfer window.
The 23-year-old only joined Ajax last summer after an impressive season with Rangers in a move worth €23 million plus performance-related add-ons.
Bassey offers versatility as he is able to play as a central defender and can be deployed at left-back when needed.
Fulham wat to bolster their defensive options ahead of next season with the future of Anglo-Nigerian central defender Tosin Adarabioyo up in the air.
The Fulham players are currently in the United States, where they are taking part in the Premier League Summer Series.
