This level of performance has only added to his allure as a rising star in the football world.

Calvin Bassey’s football journey began at Leicester City’s youth academy, honing his skills from an early age.

His exceptional progress was further acknowledged when he made his debut for the Nigerian national team in March 2022, going on to earn ten caps for his country.

With the transfer window in full swing, the potential acquisition of Calvin Bassey would undoubtedly add depth and quality to Fulham’s squad, while his presence on the pitch is sure to be a point of interest for their fans and rivals alike.
