Fulham defender Calvin Bassey has called on his teammates to maintain their momentum as they aim for a continental qualification spot next season, Nigeriasoccernet.com can report.
The powerful Nigerian international, who has featured in all of Fulham’s league matches this season, is confident that securing a European ticket is within reach if the team continues its impressive form.
Following Fulham’s recent 3-1 away victory over Newcastle United, the former Ajax and Rangers defender emphasized the importance of consistency, as the club currently sits 9th on the Premier League table with 36 points from 24 matches.
"We have to keep pushing and never stop fighting," Bassey stated.
Reacting to their latest win, the 24-year-old took to social media with an inspiring message: “Forwards this team.”
With their sights set on maintaining their fine run, Fulham will now shift focus to the FA Cup fourth-round clash against Wigan Athletic this weekend.
Fulham’s European History
The Lilywhites last featured in European competition during the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League campaign, where they had a remarkable run to the final before falling to Atletico Madrid in a 2-1 defeat.
With their current form, Bassey and his teammates hope to bring European nights back to Craven Cottage next season.
