The 29-year-old, who is notorious for his impressive physique, dumped the centre-back on the ground during a light hearted play fight in the dressing room at Fulham's Motspur Park training ground. In a video first posted on Snapchat by Alex Iwobi with the caption 'LOOK AT THE STRENGTH! ', the pair can be seen wrestling in front of amused team-mates before Traore twists Bassey, pushing him to the ground and leaving him lying flat on the floor. The dressing room antics elicit a hilarious response from onlookers who are impressed by the former Barcelona forward's power. The video was then reshared on Instagram and captioned: 'VIOLATION. Adama casually flooring Calvin Bassey in their training facility dressing room'. Bassey, who joined Fulham in 2023 and represents Nigeria internationally, was quick to defend himself.

Eighth place will equal a Europa Conference League berth, if Manchester City beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final. Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton and Marco Silva's side are separated by just two points with three league matches remaining. Fulham host Silva's old side Everton at Craven Cottage on Saturday before a west London derby against Brentford.

My future is at Fulham Football Club next season, ' he said.
