‎Ex Enyimba of Aba forward Ezekiel Bassey who was on loan at Barcelona B last season isn’t having the best of time at Iranian side Paykan following his move in September.

Last season Bassey missed out on a big chance to earn a permanent deal with Spanish giants Barcelona after failing to make an impression in a six months loan spell at the club.

The club turned down the option to make his loan move permanent in the summer, and he returned back to Enyimba without a single appearance for the B team of the team who were then campaigning in the third division in Spain.
