Where Calvin Bassey's Rangers to Ajax transfer ranks in Scottish and Dutch football's most expensive ever deals

Rangers standout Calvin Bassey is closing in on a £19m plus add-ons move to Ajax on the back of his eye-catching displays last season - and is poised to enter the history books

The 22-year-old built upon his breakthrough under Steven Gerrard before becoming a key man under the stewardship of Giovanni van Bronckhorst en route to the Europa League Final. His rousing finish to the season against Eintracht Frankfurt and Hearts underlined a player improving with every passing match.

It's no surprise he's on the verge of becoming Rangers' most expensive ever sale - he fits the profile top European clubs covet. He ticks the boxes in terms of age, big academy background (with Leicester), athleticism, speed and positional with his uncanny knack to play both at left back and in central defence.

The only slight eyebrow raiser is Ajax are the team offering a sizeable transfer fee. Dutch football's most famous team have often preferred to spend smaller fees on less familiar faces before developing and selling at a larger fee - in essence the player trading model Rangers are now implementing. But they have splashed the cash this summer with Steven Bergwijn becoming the club and country's most expensive import when he signed from Spurs.

A marquee arrival was needed in Amsterdam with wildly popular boss Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United and Swiss Army Knife Lisandro Martinez following him in a £46m deal. It was time to act.

But now an agreement has been reached, how does Bassey's switch to Ajax shake up the rich list in term of arrivals and departures in the history of Scottish and Dutch football?
