On October 10, Calvin Bassey reached 100 Premier League appearances for Fulham in their 2-1 defeat against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Bassey became the 28th player to achieve this milestone for Fulham and the second Nigerian, following Alex Iwobi, who has made 103 league appearances for the club.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international played the entire match, marking his sixth league appearance of the season. In his 100 Premier League outings for Fulham, Bassey has scored three goals and provided one assist, totaling 8,411 minutes on the pitch.
