Press reports revealed that Inter Milan were genuinely interested in signing Nigerian star Calvin Bassey, the Fulham player, and that the London club wanted to keep the player.

Since arriving at Craven Cottage from Ajax in the summer of 2023, Calvin Bassey has firmly established himself as a cornerstone of Fulham's backline.

The Nigerian international has been ever-present for the Cottagers, amassing 105 appearances across all competitions while chipping in with four goals and a single assist during that period. His influence on the pitch did not go unnoticed by the club's supporters, who voted him as Fulham's Player of the Season for the 2024/25 campaign.

Now 26 years old, Bassey continues to hold down a starting role under new manager Álvaro Arbeloa, remaining a dependable and regular presence in the heart of defence.
