Ronald de Boer reckons Rangers old boy Calvin Bassey is now an Ajax untouchable.
The Nigeria international has swapped Glasgow for Amsterdam after winning a £20million switch on the back of last year’s breakthrough campaign. There was a false start for Bassey, however, when he was sent-off on his Ajax debut in their 5-2 Dutch Super Cup defeat to PSV. But the 22-year-old has completed three straight 90-minute displays since returning from suspension to help his new club soar to the top of the Eredivisie table.
And now de Boer - who starred for both Gers and Wednesday’s opening Champions League opponents during a glittering playing career - reckons the former Ibrox ace is now a permanent fixture in Alfred Schreuder’s line-up. De Boer told Record Sport : “I’ve been really impressed by Bassey. He was unlucky to be sent-off in the Super Cup. He started the game well and we have already had the people who thought he was just a big lump, charging around kicking people, changing their opinions.
