As the FIFA Club World Cup approaches, Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal have set their sights on Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey to bolster their backline, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Bassey has been a standout performer for English Premier League side Fulham FC this season, catching the attention of the Saudi club.

Al Hilal is looking to strengthen its defense following inconsistent displays from Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly and Al-Bulaihi.

The club is among the Asian teams set to compete in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, which will be hosted in Saudi Arabia this summer.
