Manager confirms star will leave: Chelsea and Arsenal interested
CHELSEA and Arsenal have received a boost in their pursuit of Ajax midfielder Riechedly Bazoer.
Chelsea and Arsenal are keen on Riechedly Bazoer
Bazoer has been in fine form this season, helping Ajax to second in the Eredivisie table.
He is billed as one of Europe's most promising wonder kids since starring for the Dutch side last term.
And Ajax coach Peter Bosz has admitted the 20-year-old is likely to leave in January.

"After talks with Riechedly I assume there is a big chance that he is not with this team anymore after the winter break," Bosz told Ajax's official website.
"Against Standard (in the Europa League) I want to play young players so they can get used to this international level."
Bazoer has not travelled with the Ajax squad for tonight's clash with Standard Liege.
