Super Eagles defender Calvin showed his elation by hugging Alex Iwobi when the Nigerian duo trained together at Fulham for the first time, Soccernet reports.
Iwobi joined Fulham from Everton on transfer deadline day in a deal worth €25.7million. Following his transfer, he became the second Super Eagles player at Craven Cottage alongside Calvin Bassey.
Bassey is known to be an expressive character around his teammates, especially from the national team.
Iwobi could not train with Bassey at Fulham before the international break because he was nursing a hamstring injury. That also ruled out the former Everton man from the Super Eagles squad for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sao Tome and Principe.
Nonetheless, Iwobi returned to training earlier in the week, and both players met in training for the first time. Bassey was clearly happy to see him as he jumped and hugged him immediately after they met.
A lot of love! 🇳🇬@alexiwobi x @CalvinBassey pic.twitter.com/A83rP3VwM0
