The 16 year-old featured and scored in Ajax's Champions League round 16 playoff first-leg win against USG.
Former Holland striker Mulder said on Ziggo Sport: “I really see in him a future Premier League midfielder.
“Because of his physical and his presence as a good footballer. His performance has and keeps radiating a future. ”
Dutch great Van Basten joined his colleague, stating: “Who can you compare this boy to? Frank Rijkaard was of course a strong midfielder with running power, strength and good football. It's always easy to use those kinds of names, but I like to see them.
“He is present and he is technically at the ball. It really is a boy who helps the team. He dares."
Ajax burned off competition from Barcelona to sign Mokio last year from Gent.
