SNUB: Bazoer is focused on his development
The 19-year-old has been a mainstay at the heart of the Ajax midfield this season, making 34 appearances in all competitions.
He is already a full Netherlands international and has been likened to former Ajax and AC Milan legend Frank Rijkaard.
So it is no wonder that the £20m-rated youngster has attracted interest from Europe's elite.
TARGET: Guardiola is said to be keen
Guus Hiddink has reportedly recommended his compatriot to the Chelsea hierarchy, while Manchester City manager-in-waiting Pep Guarfdiola is also understood to be keen.
But according to the Mirror, Bazoer is ready to rebuff any incoming offers for the good of his development as a player.
He said: "I prefer to stay at Ajax until 2020. My development is more important than money."
