Super Eagles defender, Calvin Bassey has been impressive this season with Fulham, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. According to Data MB, a platform that analyzes player performances using data, Bassey is the fourth-highest-rated centre-back in the English Premier League.

The 25-year-old has had a remarkable campaign with Fulham, helping the team secure big wins against top clubs like Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea.

His growth from struggling at Ajax two seasons ago to becoming a key player for Fulham has been notable, with some even touting him as a potential solution to Barcelona’s defensive problems.

Data MB’s rankings place Bassey behind only a few of the Premier League’s top defenders, with Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk topping the list, followed closely by Arsenal’s William Saliba and Chelsea’s Levi Colwill.

Bassey’s fourth-place ranking is a testament to his exceptional form this season.

The top ten centre-backs in the Premier League, according to Data MB, are:

1. Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool)

2. William Saliba (Arsenal)

3. Levi Colwill (Chelsea)

4. Calvin Bassey (Fulham)

5. Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool)

6. Van Hecke (Unknown)

7. Nathan Collins (Unknown)

8. Lisandro Martinez (Manchester United)

9. Dean Huijsen (Unknown)

10. Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Despite his impressive performances, Bassey has not yet attracted serious interest from top clubs. However, with his stock continuing to rise, it’s likely that he will become a target for big clubs in the near future. Saudi club Al-Hilal has been linked with the Nigerian defender, but as of now, no official offers have been made.
