Chelsea and Leicester Battle for Ajax Star Hakim Ziyech in Winter Transfer Window

What will be the destination of Hakim Ziyech this winter? Only the wise can answer this question. Even though the Moroccan international is getting closer to Chelsea, Leicester also hopes to have the player and is even preparing, according to the British press, to make a substantial offer.

At the Blues, they are pulling out all the stops so that the negotiations lead to the signing with the star of Ajax Amsterdam. According to ESPN information, "the team, coached by Franck Lampard, is making the signing of Ziyech a priority this winter". However, it is not a foregone conclusion for Chelsea, which could well be caught up by Leicester, reports Hespress.

Indeed, the Foxes are ready to spend 30 million euros for the 26-year-old midfielder. As impressive as this amount may be, it is below the demands of Ajax, who estimate the value of their player at 40 million euros.

But the Atlas Lion is not only coveted by the English championship. According to the French press, the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain have recently contacted Mustapha Nakhli, the player’s agent, for a transfer during this winter transfer window.

The question that fans of the player, under contract with Ajax Amsterdam until 2022, are asking is whether he will decide to play outside the club where he has been more revealed to the world. Hakim Ziyech will certainly end the suspense in a few days.
