Ajax have confirmed that Wolfsburg are close to finalising a move for central midfielder Riechedly Bazoer. The 20-year-old was said to be a target for Arsenal in the January window.

The Dutch club’s manager Peter Bosz told their official website (translated by Goal.com) that Bazoer is in the “final phase” of his move to Bundesliga. The Ajax boss also confirmed that the Dutch midfielder would not play for the club again despite important fixtures coming up for his team before the player switches clubs in January.

Bosz’s side lost 1-0 to FC Twente yesterday but it must be said that Bazoer has not been a regular under Bosz this season. The midfielder already has six caps for the Netherlands senior side but he has started just three out of 14 Eredivisie games this campaign.

That is in stark contrast to past seasons. Last campaign he made 35 appearances, scoring five goals and providing five assists, under the management of Frank De Boer, and made 39 appearances the season before.
