Calvin Bassey joins Ajax on five-year contract from Rangers

Eredivisie champions Ajax Amsterdam have announced the signing of Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey on a five-year contract.

Bassey joined the Dutch giants from Scottish Premiership outfit, Glasgow Rangers.

Ajax will pay a transfer fee of €23m to Rangers, including variables, that could increase to €26.5m.

The Nigerian international comes in as a direct replacement for Argentina international, Lisandro Martinez.

Martinez joined Ajax manager Erik ten Hag at Manchester United this week.

Interestingly, Rangers made a huge profit from the player they bought for just €230,000 from Leicester City just two years ago.

Bassey has already linked up with his new teammates for pre-season training in Austria.
