    Bassey doesn’t want to go to England apparently.

    I don’t understand why clubs put in bids for players without, seemingly, ever contacting their agent to see if they’re interested.

      Dutch media seems pretty convinced he’ll go. He grew up in London and can make more money there. Not saying those are the only reasons (he’ll probably also struggle to become a starter at Ajax) but I kinda doubt he’ll stay in Amsterdam and think he’ll sign for Fulham soon.
