Calvin Bassey’s move from Ajax Amsterdam to Fulham is one of the best news from this summer transfer window.

Bassey’s time at Ajax was numbered the day he set his foot on the training ground, with Dutch media and many ex players critical of the club for spending £16m on the Nigerian.

Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned for Ajax last season and the defender was made the scapegoat for the club’s poor season.

He got criticized by Ajax legends and the media and became an object of ridicule.

In all those period, there was no single protection from the club, in fact he got more sticks from the then Interim boss Jonny Heitinga and was subsequently dropped from the team.

From that moment, his form dropped and there was no way back for the Nigerian International at the club.

It is unfortunate when a player doesn’t receive the support and understanding they need to develop and settle into a new club.

Every player requires time to adjust to a different team and playing style and Bassey is not an exception.

Ajax’s reputation in modern football is indeed significant, but it’s essential for clubs to show patience and support to help players reach their potential.
