Moroccan Star Attracting English Interest

Moroccan forward Hakim Ziyech is attracting interest from three English clubs in an attempt to move from Dutch Football League giants Ajax Amsterdam.

The 26-year-old has impressed at Netherlands professional league since moving from FC Twente in 2016 and has been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs.

Ziyech played a major role in the club’s qualification to the Champions League semi-finals and winning the first leg at an away match against Tottenham Hotspurs.

So far, Ziyech has played 45 games this season, netting 20 goals and has made 21 assists.

Ziyech can fill in at numerous attacking positions. His output in the final third has been impressive, making him one of the deadliest wide players in Europe this season.

The English duo might not have it all their own way, however, as Daily Mail also suggests that Spanish giants Real Madrid might also be after the Moroccan international’s signature.

Should he move to England, Ziyech will surely go for much more than the £25m that Real Madrid are to pay to acquire his services.

The 1.8m tall striker kicked off his professional career at Dutch club Heerenveen in 2012. He had spells at ASV Dorten and spent two seasons with Twente.

Ziyech played with the Atlas Lions during their three World Cup games in 2018 and will play in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations that will kick start on June 21 in Egypt.
