Calvin Bassey was closing in on a record-breaking Rangers exit on Saturday night as Gio van Bronckhorst admitted the chances he will leave Ibrox are “very, very high”.
Bassey was absent as Rangers stepped-up their pre-season with a 2-1 over Blackpool at Bloomfield. And van Bronckhorst expects he will again be missing for the friendlies against West Ham and Tottenham with it looking increasingly likely he has played his last game for the club.
Ajax are front of the queue for the Nigeria international with a fee of around €22m plus add-ons understood to have been agreed on Saturday night. And while Brighton are also serious about taking the former Leicester defender back to England it looks as if the Eredivisie giants have won the race for a player signed for just under £300,000 two years ago.
