Calvin Bassey says he had other offers to leave Rangers - but it's Ajax which always had his heart.
The Nigerian international has moved to the Eredivisie champions in a deal worth in excess of £20 million but his competitive debut against PSV was marred by a red card. There are still high hopes for him in the Netherlands, but it almost wasn't Holland he transferred to.
Bassey has revealed that there were other offers that arrived for him, but Ajax had his heart: "I was doing pre-season with Rangers and focussing on the new season and getting in shape. Then I was told by my agent that the great Ajax wanted me. I didn't count on anything. Many things can go wrong in transfers and there was interest from other clubs too. But when I saw how hard Ajax were working to sign me, I got really excited.
