#3 – Riechedly Bazoer (Ajax Amsterdam, 20 years old)
Riechedly Bazoer is one of the most talented youngsters to have come through from the Dutch youth system recently. The 20-year-old has been lauded by coaches and managers throughout Netherlands to be the next big name in Dutch football.
Preferring to play a deep-lying role in midfield, Bazoer has been likened to Dutch legends like Frank Rijkaard and Clarence Seedorf owing to his pace and power. Growing up in the PSV Eindhoven academy, Bazoer decided to move to Ajax in 2012 on a free. Since then, he has grown into a powerhouse in the midfield for Ajax and also has an eye for goal, with great ability to finish from long range.
Bazoer's performances did not go unnoticed as he got a senior Netherlands debut in November 2015 against Wales. He has since represented his country five more times. The Utrecht-born midfielder considers Barcelona as his dream club. Looking at the way he has been growing, a move to Nou Camp does not seem entirely impossible.
