Calvin Bassey reportedly left Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder "charmed" following a phone-call as his interest in the Rangers defender ramps up. Reports on Wednesday claimed both the Eredivisie champions and Premier League side Brighton were eyeing the Nigeria international.
His profile has risen considerably since the end of last season after playing a pivotal role in Rangers reaching the Europa League Final and winning the Scottish Cup. That's attracted interest from across the continent and now De Telegraaf report Ajax are serious about signing the 22-year-old.
They state Bassey has already spoken "extensively" to the Dutch side's new manager, who has been encouraged by what he's heard from the former Leicester City youth. He could face competition from Brighton as they prepare to lose left-back Marc Cucurella to Manchester City in a £50million deal.
