A beast as you can see…… caging Anthony in training as you can see in the picture….am so excited to watch bassay have fun with defenders this season. …. simple world class.
I wish him succesful outings in Ajax fc with laurels to his career coupled with injury free season. I’m excited that Nigeria had capped him earlier probably we could have lost him to avaricious England
