Calvin Bassey has described leading Fulham out this season as "a huge privilege," having worn the captain's armband in each of the Cottagers' opening three Premier League matches, according to BBC News.
The defender's leadership role comes under new head coach Marco Silva's successor... actually, per BBC News, new boss Alvaro Arbeloa appears to be rotating the captaincy on a match-by-match basis as Fulham search for their first league points of the campaign.
Bassey's growing stature at the club is reflected in the trust placed in him early in Arbeloa's tenure, though the results have yet to follow, with Fulham still searching for their first win under the new manager.
