What James Maddison Has Said About Rangers’ Latest Signing Should Get Fans Excited

New Rangers signing Calvin Bassey has been described as “some player” by his current Leicester teammate James Maddison.

The left-back will move to Ibrox on July 1st after signing a pre-contract agreement with the Bears. He took to Instagram yesterday to say goodbye to Foxes fans, and Maddison replied with a ringing endorsement of the player’s abilities:

“All the best little bro, some player.”

Bassey’s mentor has also been speaking about the 20-year-old in recent days, comparing him to the likes of David Alaba, Marcelo and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.  That is putting a lot of pressure on the young man’s shoulders but he will certainly be in good hands under manager Steven Gerrard.


Bassey may get first-team opportunities earlier than he thinks. With no recognised backup for Borna Barisic in the first team squad, following the departures of Andy Halliday and Jon Flanagan, the young left-back could be called upon to play regularly for Rangers during preseason.
