The 19-year-old has burst onto the scene with Ajax and has already clocked up 33 appearances this season.

Bazoer started in the Netherlands’ 2-1 win over England on Tuesday , and Tuttojuve claims that Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal are all keen.

Juventus are believed to be admirers and were looking to make a £12million swoop this summer.

But Ajax will now demand at least £24m due to the interest from England, meaning that Max Allegri is unlikely to lodge a bid.

Arsenal have reportedly been monitoring Bazoer throughout 2016, with Ajax Daily adding that Arsene Wenger has been scouting the player ‘for months’.

The Frenchman is lining up a £30m move for Borussia Monchengladbach’s Granit Xhaka, and may want Bazoer to partner the Switzerland international from next season.

However, the Gunners will now have to contend with the Manchester clubs as well as Chelsea for the coveted star.

The Blues are in danger of losing John Obi Mikel, while City look set to part ways with Yaya Toure.

United could be tempted to cash in on Fenerbahce target Bastian Schweinsteiger, while out-of-contract Michael Carrick is yet to be offered a new deal.
