Fulham make Bassey move
According to the Athletic, the London club has officially made a bid for Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam.
Fulham has made an offer of 15 million pounds in writing to prise the 23-year-old away from Amsterdam.
Bassey, who moved from Scotland to the Netherlands last summer, has four years left on his current contract at Ajax which runs until the summer of 2027.
However, it seems he could be set to return to Britain and the Premier League after just 39 appearances for Ajax.
Dutch club, Ajax, are yet to respond to the latest offer on the table for their versatile Nigerian star, the report added.
