Cole Bassett will still make the switch to Fortuna Sittard, reports 1908.nl Tuesday evening. Feyenoord, Fortuna Sittard and the Colorado Rapids, from whom the Rotterdammers rent Basset, have reached an agreement about the 21-year-old American. As a result, Bassett is still loaned to Fortuna by Feyenoord for one season.
Feyenoord would thereby retain the right to withdraw the purchase option on Bassett after this season. The Rotterdam team can then definitively take over the attacking midfielder from the Rapids for an amount of approximately 1.5 million euros. Last Sunday Bassett came in for Danilo in the match against Vitesse (5-2 win) in the 84th minute. The Rotterdammers hope that the American can gain a lot of experience in the Eredivisie at Fortuna.

According to the usually reliable medium 1908.nl Feyenoord is looking at the transfer market for possible replacements for Bassett. The American has not yet played many official matches in the main squad of the Rotterdam club. In total he got only 89 minutes in eight matches. In practice matches, Bassett has often shown that he scores easily. On Tuesday afternoon, for example, he was accurate in the 5-0 practice match in De Kuip against FC Dordrecht.
In the preparation Bassett was accurate twice before in the matches against NAC Breda (6-1 win) and Osasuna (1-2 loss). Bassett is an attacking midfielder with a lot of running ability who likes to pop up in the opponent’s box. Feyenoord may already have his replacement in the house with Noah Naujoks, who could fulfill the same role within the selection of Arne Slot. Twenty-year-old Naujoks made his debut against Vitesse last Sunday and showed in the youth that he also has a nose for the goal. Naujoks was also captain of several youth teams at Feyenoord.
