EPL: Fulham ready to hand Bassey new deal

Fulham are working on a deal for Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey, DAILY POST reports.

Bassey has one year remaining on his contract with the London club.

Fulham can also trigger a one-year extension which would extend his stay at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2028.

According to TEAMtalk, the Cottagers are planning to offer the centre-back a new long-term contract that will secure his future.

The 26-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

The versatile defender, who won the club’s Player of the Season award in 2024/25, has started all three Premier League games under new manager Álvaro Arbeloa this season.

Bassey has made 105 appearances across all competitions for Fulham since his arrival at the club.
