The 19-year-old is understood to have been on the Gunners' radar for some time, with the club failing to attract him to the Emirates in 2012, but his performances this season have strengthened that interest.
Despite his age, the central midfielder has started every game for the Dutch giants this term and has helped take them to the top of the Eredivisie. It's reported that Arsenal scouts have been in attendance for a number of those matches.
Should Arsenal make an official move for Bazoer they will likely be joined by a host of Europe's other top clubs with his performances not going unnoticed beyond north London.
Bazoer is considered one of the brightest prospects in the Netherlands with national manager Danny Blind already calling him into the squad.
