Moroccan Star Hakim Ziyech Named Among Top African Footballers by RFI

Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech was elected this week as one of the best African players, according to a ranking established by the French radio station RFI.

The Ajax Amsterdam player takes 7th place in this ranking dominated by Mbaye Diagne, Aly Samatta, Mohamed Salah, Hamdi Harbaoui or Nicolas Pépé. The Moroccan Abdenasser El Khayati, who plays at ADO Den Haag, takes 9th place.

To compile its "week 20" ranking, RFI is based on the average of goals scored by the players during the season and the number of matches played. Thus, Hakim Ziyech has scored 14 goals in 20 matches, an average of 0.7 goals per game, while El Khayati has scored an average of 0.59 goals in the 22 matches taken into account.

It should be noted that Hakim Ziyech stood out again last week by scoring two beautiful goals in a match largely dominated by the Amsterdam team with a clear victory of 5 goals to 1.
