Bassogog signs new deal with CSL, extending his stay in the league

Bassogog has signed a new contract with the Chinese Super League (CSL) to extend his stay in the top tier of Chinese football for another season.

The 27-year-old midfielder had been linked with a move away from his current club, Shanghai Shenhua, but he has now committed himself to the team until June 2024.

"I am very happy to have extended my contract with Shanghai Shenhua," Bassogog said. "I want to thank the club and the fans for their support over the years. I feel blessed to be part of this great team."

The deal means that Bassogog will continue to play for the team he supports and has played for since he was just 15 years old.

He added: "I hope to continue making contributions to the team and help them achieve success in the future. I am looking forward to working with my teammates and coaching staff on our journey together."

Shanghai Shenhua is one of the most successful teams in Chinese football history, having won six domestic titles and two Asian Cups. Bassogog has made more than 150 appearances for the team, scoring 18 goals.

The signing of Bassogog is a significant boost for the team as they look to challenge for the title again next year. The midfielder's experience and leadership will be invaluable as the team looks to make a strong start to the new season.

Overall, it is a positive development for Bassogog and the team, who can look forward to another season of competitive football under his leadership.
