Calvin Bassey has opened up on his Ajax struggles and admits he hasn't been able to escape being affected by heavy criticism.
The former Rangers standout defender made what he labelled a 'dream' move the Dutch giants for a club record fee in the summer of 2022. A then Gio Van Bronckhorst side netted a cool £22million package for the Nigerian international after a notable campaign for the young defender in Europa League and Scottish Premiership action. Bassey seemed to have potential suitors across Europe before the Amsterdam outfit swooped in.
But since it has been a tale of inconsistency for the 23-year-old with Bassey coming under heavy fire at times from Dutch pundits and former players for his performances. And the starlet admits even his mother is concerned about some of the barbs aimed at him but Bassey is determined to make it and even revealed the Premier League was an option but that he wanted to test himself at Ajax.
