When complete, Bassey will bid farewell to Dutch Eredivise giants Ajax Amsterdam after a difficult one-year following his signing from Glasgow Rangers in 2022.
The 23-year old Nigerian International will now meet Fulham FC to discuss personal terms and possibly fly to London for medicals to seal the move away from Ajax.
