Former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh has named Calvin Bassey as the Nigerian player who has impressed him the most in the ongoing AFCON tournament in Morocco.
Speaking on the Global Football Insights podcast, Oliseh described the Fulham star as a rock, insisting that he has really improved his game.
“The player nobody is talking about that is impressing me most is Calvin Bassey,” Oliseh said.
“My God, this boy has totally grown, confidence. He’s a rock. If you throw anything at him, he will handle it well.
“He is well complemented with Ajayi at the back.”
Bassey will hope to lead the Super Eagles to victory when they face Morocco in the AFCON semi-final on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old has been impressive for Eric Chelle’s side so far in the competition, forming a formidable partnership with Semi Ajayi in the heart of the Nigerian defence.
