By

Fulham are poised to complete the signing of Ajax defender Calvin Bassey.

Bassey, 23, looks set to move to Craven Cottage for around £18m.


Ajax, who signed him from Glasgow Rangers last year, rejected an initial offer of £15m but negotiations continued and a deal has now been agreed.

Bassey, who was born in Italy, is a Nigeria international and can play at left-back or centre-back.

He was with Leicester City prior to moving to Glasgow.
