Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has described his appointment as Fulham captain as a “privilege”, insisting that taking responsibility for the Premier League side has come naturally to him.
The Nigerian centre-back has worn the captain’s armband in each of Fulham’s first three Premier League games of the season after being handed the responsibility by new manager Álvaro Arbeloa, who views Bassey as a strong leader within the squad.
For Bassey, however, the captaincy has not changed his personality or his approach to his role in the team.
Speaking to Fulham’s media team, the Nigerian international said his experience and position on the pitch have naturally helped him develop leadership qualities.
“It’s a privilege,” Bassey explained. “Being able to captain this club is unbelievable.
