Dutch Football pundits have laid it on Super Eagles defender, Calvin Bassey saying his quality of football does not justify the huge money Ajax paid to get him from Rangers.
Bassey despite putting up a good showing for the Dutch giants is still not able to satisfy the pundits who criticised his role in their 6-1 thrashing by Napoli in the champions league. Bassey responded Saturday with his first professional goal in Ajax’s 4-2 away win at FC Volendam.
Ajax are second on the table a point behind AZ Alkmaan but Wim Kieft and Freek Jansen see little contributions from Bassey.
“Calvin Bassey playing football hurts my eyes,” Kieft said.
“Apart from his lack of quality on the ball, he is above all very rash. Physically, he is fine, but Ajax cannot play the dominant game they like with him in the team.”
Jansen further stated: “With Bassey, you can already conclude that Ajax has paid far too much for him. Given his current qualities, it would have made more sense to pay five to ten million Euros for the transfer.
“He still has a long way to go when it comes to football, but maybe that will still happen.”
