Ajax technical director has made his thoughts on new recruit Calvin Bassey clear as he believes the star can reach the "top of the Premier League".
Bassey penned a five-year-deal with the Amsterdam club, leaving Rangers for a record breaking fee of an additional £19.5million - which could raise to just under £23million - this week. But the defender was not short of options before deciding to make the move to the Dutch side ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The 22-year-old was also linked with a move to the Premier League to join Brighton, with Steven Gerrard 's Aston Villa side also keen earlier this summer. Despite the sides south of the border keeping tabs on the Nigeria international, he has pledged his future to Ajax where he will remain until June 2027. However, with plenty years left in his career, the stopper may not be in Amsterdam for the duration of his contract and could end up in the Prem as his new sporting director predicts.
