Club Career

Ajax

Bazoer was acquired by Ajax as a free transfer from rival Eredivisie club PSV on 16 November 2012. He had been linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle United being mentioned, but opted to sign with Ajax instead. No transfer fee was necessary, as the young defender was under age. However it was declared by the KNVB that Bazoer would not be eligible for the first team of Ajax until after his 16th birthday. Unable to make his debut in the 2012–13 season for the first team due to the KNVB ruling, he played for Jong Ajax in the Beloften Eredivisie, as well as participating in the 2013 Copa Amsterdam with Ajax A1.

On 29 June 2013, he made his debut for Ajax during a pre-season friendly against SDC Putten. Bazoer came on as a second-half substitute, with the match ending in a 4–1 win in favour of Ajax. Bazoer made his professional debut in the Eerste Divisie for Jong Ajax, in the team's season opener against Telstar on 5 August 2013, a match they won 2–0 in the team's first ever match in the second division of Dutch football. On 4 September 2013 it was announced that Bazoer was amongst the 22 players who were registered by Frank de Boer for Ajax's 2013–14 UEFA Champions League campaign. On 15 February 2015, Bazoer scored his first goal for Ajax in a 4–2 win over FC Twente. On 19 February 2015, Bazoer made his full European debut in a 1–0 win over Legia Warsaw in the Europa League.
