Career

=Early career=

Born in Amsterdam, Guezen played in the youth departments of AFC, Ajax, ASV De Dijk and IVV before returning to AFC and subsequently moving to Feyenoord. As part of the Feyenoord youth academy, he stated in July 2015 that "Ajax was in his heart", and that he would have preferred to play in their youth academy; a controversial comment as the club is considered to be Feyenoord's fierce rivals.{{cite news |title=Feyenoord-aanwinst maakt zich niet geliefd door opmerkelijke pikante uitspraak |url=https://www.soccernews.nl/news/320628/feyenoordaanwinst-maakt-zich-niet-geliefd-door-opmerkelijke-pikante-uitspraak |accessdate=31 October 2020 |work=soccernews.nl |date=2 July 2015 |language=Dutch |quote="Diep in mijn hart was ik natuurlijk naar Ajax gegaan.
