Fulham and Ajax have reached an agreement for the transfer of the versatile defender to the London club.

The Whites will pay €21 million, including add-ons, for the player.

Bassey initially objected to the move, but Steijn claimed he persuaded him to leave.

“I told Calvin Bassey it would be better to leave Ajax,” the Ajax coach told Telegraaf.

The 23-year-old is now close to completing a transfer to Fulham.

He is expected to agree on personal terms and sign the contract after undergoing a routine medical.
