Arsenal to hijack Guus Hiddink's bid to lure £15m Netherlands international to Chelsea
ARSENAL have reportedly stepped up their scouting mission of Chelsea target Riechedly Bazoer, dubbed 'the Dutch Patrick Vieira'.
Riechedly Bazoer has attracted plenty of attention from European clubs
Bazoer, 19, has greatly impressed in the Ajax midfield this season.
He broke into the Dutch national team last year and could become a central figure when the Netherlands begin their World Cup qualifying campaign in the autumn.
Chelsea have been linked with an offer for the midfielder, as have Manchester City.
Hiddink, 69, has twice managed the Dutch national side and boasts six league titles from his two stints in charge of PSV Eindhoven.
Bazoer is approaching 100 appearances already for Ajax and is contracted to the club until 2020.
The Daily Mirror claim he has been on Arsenal's radar for three years.
