Impressed Daley Blind has heaped praise on Rangers for providing Ajax with a ready made star in Calvin Bassey.
The Nigeria international has hit the ground running with the Eredivisie big-hitters and is now primed for a quick-fire reunion with his old team in the Champions League. Former Manchester United star Blind reckons the Ibrox side deserve kudos for honing Bassey's skills after he joined from Leicester City's academy side for a nominal fee back in 2020. The veteran stopper is convinced his new team-mate can become one of European football's best defenders.
Bassey enjoyed a stratospheric rise in Glasgow, which culminated with all-star displays in the Europa League and Scottish Cup finals before Ajax landed their man in a £19m deal plus add-ons over the summer. And the former Rangers star has recovered from an early red card against PSV to forge a formidable double act with Jurrien Timber in the heart of defence.
