Essiën Bassey, who was part of the A-selectie and made an appearance in the Johan Cruijff Schaal match against AZ, will play for Jong PSV in the upcoming season. This decision comes after a summer of uncertainty surrounding the 19-year-old's future at the club. PSV had offered Bassey a contract extension, but it remains unclear whether he will accept the offer.
Sturm Graz is still interested in signing Bassey, and the Austrian club could offer him a route into the Europa League. PSV does not want to sell Bassey, but the club may be forced to do so if they want to recoup some of the investment they made in the player.
