Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey, started his career at Ajax with a red card, but he has declared that there a whole lot to learn at the Dutch club.
Bassey had the chance to play in the Premier League, but instead moved to Ajax where he would have the opportunity to play in the Champions League.
“Every year you see new young players playing for Ajax in the Champions League, each and every one of them talents who are getting better and better,” Bassey told Daily Record.
“That development appeals to me, and here I can play for trophies, watch myself grow and play with all the good players around me.
“Returning to England might have been the safest option for me, and, of course, I know the language and the Premier League is a great competition. But it did not outweigh my desire to move to Ajax.
“I didn’t count on anything. Many things can go wrong in transfers, and there was interest from other clubs too. But when I saw how hard Ajax were working to sign me, I got really excited.”
