Hakim Ziyech Denies Saudi Transfer Rumors, Commits to Galatasaray for New Season

"No, I have not received any offers from Saudi Arabia, but things can change at any time," Hakim Ziyech said in an interview with the Turkish newspaper Milliyet. And he added: "Honestly, I’m very excited to start the new season, no matter what people say, the important thing is what I do, I’ll try to give my best again this year."

The Atlas Lion looked back on his mixed performances last season. "I was happy, but there were difficult moments last season. When I arrived, I got injured, later I recovered and my muscle injury came back, I went to the Africa Cup of Nations and I got injured there too. As I said, it was a roller coaster season for me, but it ended well."

The 31-year-old striker also says he is ready to play in any position and deliver more convincing performances this season. "I have no problem, I’m improving every day, I didn’t take advantage of the training camp last year. This year, I’m here, I think I’ll be better. As for the position, I also played as a number 10 at Ajax, on the right wing and on the left wing... The position is not important to me."
