Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has been named Fulham's Player of the Season for 2024/25, becoming the first Nigerian and African to win the prestigious club award. The 25-year-old center-back played 35 Premier League matches, contributing to 5 clean sheets and scoring a crucial FA Cup goal against Manchester United.
• 35/38 PL appearances (1 goal)
• 4.8 ball recoveries/game
• 3.2 clearances/game
• Only 1 error leading to the goal
Bassey edged out teammates Raúl Jiménez (12 goals) and compatriot Alex Iwobi (9G/6A) to join an elite list including Clint Dempsey and Aleksandar Mitrović as Fulham POTY winners. His consistent performances helped Fulham secure an 11th-place finish and an FA Cup quarterfinal run, cementing his status as one of the Premier League's most reliable defenders.
