WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Fulham and Super Eagles defender, Calvin Chinedu Bassey, has opened up on his time at Ajax, revealing he stills reaches out to some of his ex-teammates, Soccernet.ng reports. The 25-year-old versatile defender joined the Dutch giants ahead of the 2022/2023 season from SPFL side, Rangers, and he immediately became a first team regular, playing 32 games and scoring one goal. Bassey moved to Ajax for £20m from Rangers, a record fee at the time, but the following season, he joined Fulham for £19.3m, signing a four-year deal. In an interview with Viaplay sports Nederland, the left-footer revealed he misses Ajax as a club, and life in the city of Amsterdam. “Yeah, I actually do you know. I do a bit, it was nice. I miss the boys, we had a good team, a nice team, all nice guys. ”Obviously, I still see some of them here in the UK. Timber [Jurrien], Kudus [Mohammed], Edson [Alvarez], yeah, so it’s okay,” the former Leicester City defended mentioned. ️ Calvin Bassey: “Ik mis Ajax wel een beetje, heb nog vaak contact met de jongens” ❤️#PremierLeague #Fulham #Ajax pic.twitter.com/sAzb9jWc7m — Viaplay Sport Nederland (@viaplaysportnl) February 14, 2025 Additionally, Bassey admitted he stays in touch with his former teammates, highlighting the bond he shared in Ajax despite spending just a year at the club. “Yeah, we text each other. We still speak. I still talk to all the boys there. “Looking back on my time there, I think it was alright. It was a year to learn, to improve. I was able to play fourty games, able to play Champions League. So for me, it was decent,” the 2023 AFCON finalist concluded. Bassey has played all but one of Fulham’s games in the English Premier League this season, missing his side’s clash against Liverpool due to a suspension. The game ended in a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
