Calvin Bassey

Calvin Bassey has one of those backgrounds I find genuinely compelling: born in Aosta, Italy, to Nigerian parents, raised in England, came through Leicester's youth setup, then exploded at Rangers. That Europa League run to the final, with him bullying strikers as a left-sided defender, put him on the map for me. He's quick, strong and surprisingly comfortable carrying the ball out from the back. After a tough spell at Ajax he's rebuilt himself superbly at Fulham, and choosing to represent Nigeria internationally felt right. I rate his recovery pace and his composure under pressure highly.
