Whilst Bassey was born in Italy, his football career started in England at the age of 15 when he joined Leicester City's Academy following a successful trial with the club. He played in the age grades for the Foxes, playing dominant roles in the U18 and U23 sides.

In the summer of 2020, Calvin Bassey joined Scottish Premiership giants Rangers on a free transfer from the Leicester City U23 team. He made his senior debut for Rangers on July 9, 2020, in a 3-0 victory over St. Mirren in the League.

After a less-memorable debut season personally, Bassey came into the limelight during the 2021/22 season. He secured a starting role under Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst and never looked back. 

The Nigerian international was named in the starting line-up for Rangers for the 2022 UEFA Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt. Bassey was also named in the 2022 Europa League official Team of the Season.

Calvin Bassey completed a transfer to Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday July 20, 2022 for a fee of €23m.

Molly revealed in May 2022 that she and Bassey started dating after the Super Eagles stars slid into her DM on Instagram. It seems they have since broken up.

Born in Italy and raised in England with Nigerian parents, Calvin Bassey was eligible to represent Italy, England, and Nigeria on the international stage but he chose to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Being just 22 years old, Calvin Bassey is one of the youngest stars in the Super Eagles squad. The Rangers defender was handed his maiden call-up to the Nigerian national team by Augustine Eguavoen in March 2022 ahead of the final round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

Bassey made his debut for the Super Eagles on March 25, 2022, against the Black Stars of Ghana in the first leg of their World Cup qualifiers.

Since then, the Rangers defender has made six (6) appearances for the Super Eagles but he is yet to score a goal.

The 22-year-old Nigerian international has been in the news all summer with many sports analysts linking him with moves away from the Ibrox Stadium on the back of his impressive 2021/22 season. 

With less than two years left on his contract with Rangers, the Scottish seem to have cashed in on the Nigerian international with a fee of €22m said to be agreed with Ajax for Calvin Bassey's signature.

However, neither of the clubs has confirmed Calvin Bassey's transfer yet.
