Solid player Calvin Bassey. Nigeria has just succeeded in capping a top top player in this guy. Only time will tell all. Forget about his last game for Nigeria, where the whole team couldn’t function.
An incredible player. At a young age he is not afraid to make mistakes, courageous and unbenchable. Pray he gets a great career path playing for the elite teams in Europe. The same for Osimhen in Jesus name
