Coventry sign Caen's Bassette for undisclosed fee

Norman Bassette spent last season loan in Belgium with Mechelen

Coventry City have made their sixth signing of the summer transfer window by bringing in teenage striker Norman Bassette from French second-tier side Caen.

Bassette, 19, has signed on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

“Norman is a confident young man already at 19 and we look forward to working with him," said Sky Blues boss Mark Robins.

"He’s a young player, with good experience. He has a lot of really good attributes and a huge amount of potential."

Bassette, who signed his first professional contract with Caen in 2021, has represented Belgium at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 level.

He made his professional debut in September 2021, before scoring his first Ligue 2 goal for Caen the following season.

Bassette scored five times in 22 games on a season-long loan in 2023-24 with Belgian top-flight side KV Mechelen.
