After a strong debut campaign with Fulham, Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has expressed satisfaction with his first season in the Premier League and is aiming to raise his game in the coming year, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Bassey made the switch to Fulham last summer from Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam and quickly established himself as a key figure at Craven Cottage.

Speaking to Unique Sports Group UK, the versatile defender shared his delight at fulfilling a childhood dream and his determination to improve.

"Making my debut in the Premier League, it's something I dreamt of as a child. So to achieve that was a huge moment for me, one I truly cherish," Bassey said.

He also spoke about his hunger to build on his success. "Like every footballer, after two or three weeks off, you start missing it. For me, the drive going into a new season is to always be better than the last. That alone should motivate you to become the best version of yourself."

Bassey featured in 35 matches for Fulham last season and contributed one goal, solidifying his place as a reliable presence in the squad.
