Chelsea, Man City target Bazoer ready to play for top club - Southampton star Clasie

Riechedly Bazoer has what it takes to make it at a very big club according to fellow Dutchman Jordy Clasie.

19-year-old midfielder Bazoer continues to be linked with a number of teams in Europe and the UK with Chelsea and Manchester City believed to the ones showing the most significant interest.

Regarding the qualities of the one-time Holland international, Southampton midfielder Clasie suggests Bazoer possesses the ability to become a world-class player in the coming years.

"He's got everything that a good midfielder needs for a top club," said of the Ajax star who is expected to feature for Danny Blind's Oranje side against England at Wembley on Tuesday.

"He's got power, he's strong, he's fast. Physically he's good. He reads the game.

"He will be an unbelievable player in a few years.

"If you saw some of the games from Ajax, you see that sometimes he runs the whole game for them.

"He scores a lot of good goals, he's got confidence, he shows quality nearly every week."

He added: "In a few more years, I think he will be at the top.

"He is consistent, that is also important to be a good player — that you do not play one or two good games in a year but stay on a good level."
