Speaking in his first interview with the club, Bassey said "I know Viktoria very well, it's a big club with big ambitions. When this opportunity presented itself, I did not hesitate. It is a huge challenge for me, we have big games in Europe and in the league and I will do everything to be an asset to the team."
With Bassey already playing 3 matches for Ferencváros in the Champions League preliminary rounds, he is unable to make his debut for Viktoria in the two-legged play-off against Karabakh on August 17th. However, he will be fully available for the group stage of the Champions League or the Europa League.
