Leicester City’s James Maddison sends message to new Rangers signing Calvin Bassey

Rangers have signed versatile defender Calvin Bassey from Leicester City on a pre-contract, with the 20-year-old set to move to Ibrox when the summer transfer window opens.

The youngster penned a four-year deal and will hope to force his way into manager Steven Gerrard’s first-team plans sooner or later after failing to make a senior appearance for the Foxes.

Rangers beat stiff competition to the signing of Bassey, with West Ham United and Bayer Leverkusen both interested in luring him away from Leicester.

The Italian-born defender definitely knew his chances of quickly progressing to the first-team of both sides are as slim as they come, hence, his decision to join Rangers.
