Bassey Linked To Bayern Munich, Chelsea Deals
According to Fichajes, Chelsea and Bayern are set to battle it out for Rangers defender Calvin Bassey. The Nigerian international received a lot of plaudits in Rangers’ recent Europa League final and was unfortunate to be on the losing side, Spectacular 9ja reports.
A product of the Leicester Academy, Bassey left the Premier League club to pursue first-team football at Rangers, and the move seems to have paid off.
After an excellent season in the SPL, Bassey is attracting interest from clubs around Europe, and deservedly so. Bassey is a left-footed defender, capable of playing in the middle or at full-back, and could suit Thomas Tuchel’s system perfectly.
In a back three, it’s beneficial to have a left-footed defender in the defence, especially when trying to play out from the back.
But the 22-year-old could consider improving his chances for silverware by joining a bigger team at the end of the season. The report suggests Bayern Munich are one of the teams keen on securing his services, with the Bavarians hoping to replace Niklas Sule after the defender agreed to join arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea, though, are labelled as favourites in the race to sign the Rangers defender. The Blues are on the verge of losing three of their most important defenders at the end of the season, and the tally could increase to four if Marcos Alonso also ends up joining Barcelona.
It has compelled Chelsea to enter the market for multiple new defenders. The Premier League giants have considered the possibility of signing Alessio Romagnoli on a free transfer. Bassey, to that end, could be another smart reinforcement as the Nigerian defender can offer the physical presence in the backline, while he has also shown immense potential ever since his breakthrough at Rangers.
The 22-year-old can serve as a backup for Ben Chilwell at left-back as well, thus making him an ideal coup for Chelsea as they look to rebuild their defensive unit in the coming summer.
