Ajax have joined the race to sign Calvin Bassey. Other than Brighton it is unclear what other clubs are interested in the Ibrox star.
Throughout May the Scottish media were in campaign mode as they compared Bassey to Virgin van Dijk with offers expected to start at £25m because that’s the fee Celtic got for Kieran Tierney.
Aston Villa were supposed to be leading the race but when they paid Sevilla £26m for Diego Carlos that trail came to a sudden halt. Similarly Villa showed no interest in Joe Aribo at just £6m.
????????: Rangers defender Calvin Bassey is wanted by Brighton and Ajax.
The left-back is also attracting interest from other Premier League sides.

Tuning in to TalkSport the Daily Record reports Alex Crook saying:
I know Rangers are keen to keep him for at least one more year but you have to believe the lure of playing in the Champions League and playing for an iconic club like Ajax might be too good to turn down.
The fee I’m being told is in the region of between £15m and £20m with add-ons. I know there is Premier League interest, strong interest for Brighton earlier in the window which seems to have gone quiet. It wouldn’t surprise me if Calvin Bassey was to replace Martinez at Ajax. He offers that versatility.
Having spent £4m of the Aribo transfer fee on Antonio Colak and Rabbi Matondo it looks like further sales will be required before Giovanni van Bronckhorst can sign any new players.
Other household cleaners are in the race too

The Record and Talkshit, really must have a atom of the Hilarious.
I went straight to the horse’s mouth. It said “Neigh”.
Wonder how the sevco PR expert gets along with Ross Wilson?
The SMSM is fed with ludicrous stories about how valuable the Ibrox players are – and that ‘lots’ of other clubs are interested in them.
Then, Wilson manages to negotiate their publicised values down, and sells them for relatively low amounts. 🙂
And how are the ’21/’22 RIFC Accounts coming along…?
Sevco hoping to clean up on this transfer FAKE news,though I did point out yesterday in a post that big Shirley fae Possil YM would make a special guest star appearance in the transfer BINGO game.
You never know now Fred Davis and The Pensioners who signed on for another year might have a clause in their Universal Credit contracts for bids of over £10 million would allow them to move on.
Every player has a price.
The ‘ spending frenzy ‘ is over
So it’s back to hawking players for fantasy figures , you know how it goes
Bassey , Ajax , £20m today
Kent , Leeds , £18m at the weekend
Morelos , pick any Spanish club , £15m on Monday
Where do the Delusional get it
