Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has further heaped plaudits on Calvin Bassey ahead of the side’s UEFA Champions League clash against Rangers.
Bassey joined Ajax from Rangers this summer on the back of his impressive displays for the latter last season.
The 22-year-old has formed a solid partnership with Jurien Timber in the heart of defence.
“He is a great signing for us, we are very happy he is here and in our team,”Schreuder was quoted by Scotsman.
“He is a very positive guy, he has great physicality and he brings a lot of energy to the team. He is improving all the time and I am happy he is with us.
“He has a lot of confidence in himself, he plays for a club that’s very dominant on the pitch.
“He has to learn on the pitch and as the trainer I am always looking for aspects of his play where he can get better. He has already shown fast progress in his learning.”
