Club career
Baseya is a right forward who formerly played for Southampton in the English Championship.[1]
On 17 November 2007, he made its first official appearance in a professional league game with Crewe Alexandra after signing for them on loan for one month the previous day.[2][3]
He made his Southampton debut as a last minute substitute against Ipswich Town on 1 March 2008 but didn't touch the ball in the short time he was on the pitch. Baseya moved to Lille on a Bosman on 2 July 2008[4] and was loaned out on 10 August 2009 to Le Havre AC.[5]
On 21 September 2011, he signed for Reading on a 12-month contract.[6]
International career
Although born in France, he qualifies to play for the Democratic Republic of Congo via his parents. He was called up for their full international side but the game was cancelled and he has since represented them at Under 20 level in a 2–1 defeat by Argentina.
