Nigeria international defender Calvin Bassey was once again solid for Dutch champions Ajax as they secure their third consecutive win with a 2-0 win over Utrecht.
Bassey had a nightmare start to his career at the club by getting sent off on his debut game against PSV in the Dutch Super Cup (Johan Cruijjf Shield). He was subsequently handed a three match ban which delayed his league debut until last weekend.
Ajax failed to keep any clean sheet in three games but since the debut of Bassey, they haven’t conceded in the two games he has played so far. His impressive form has also led to the deployment of Danny Blind to left back with Bassey taking his spot in the heart of the defence.
He doesn’t look like he is troubled by the huge amount Ajax spent to sign him from Scottish side Rangers. A fee that makes him the most expensive defender ever signed by the Dutch side. For Rangers he also goes into the record books as their most expensive transfer.
