Manchester United are reportedly considering a January move for Fulham defender Calvin Bassey as the club prepares to strengthen a squad that has been badly exposed by injuries.
The 26-year-old has been one of Fulham’s standout performers this season and has also taken on the captaincy. His ability to operate at both centre-back and left-back makes him especially attractive to United, who are dealing with problems in both areas.
According to TEAMtalk, United’s recruitment department has been impressed by Bassey and is monitoring his situation closely. The Nigeria international’s contract expires next summer, although Fulham hold an option to extend it by another year.
