Club career[]

Norman Bassette came through the ranks of Belgian second division team of Royal Excelsior Virton, that was in big financial troubles (not even being awarded a professional license for the 2020–21 season) when he joined French Ligue 2 side of Stade Malherbe Caen, in the summer 2020. He started playing with the under-17, during a season where very few youth games were played because of the covid pandemic, but still ending it signing a full-time 3-years contract with the Norman club.[2][3]

Having started the 2021–22 season playing with the National 2 reserve team,[4] Bassette was soon called to the first team, in late August 2021.[3] He made his professional debut for Caen on the 11 September 2021, replacing Johann Lepenant in a 2-1 home Ligue 2 loss against Pau FC.[5][6]

International career[]

Bassette received his first call to the Belgium under-18 team on the 23 August 2021,[7] playing the two games against Norway and Sweden as a starter in early September.[8]

Style of play[]

Norman Bassette mainly plays as a centre-forward, soon proving to be a very prolific goalscorer in Caen's youth teams, where he was compared to his young teammate Andréas Hountondji.[3]
