Premier League Giants Eye Ajax Star Ziyech After Stellar Season

Pep Guardiola would like to see Hakim Ziyech in place of German international Ilkey Gundogan, whose contract with the Manchester club is coming to an end. With 19 goals and 20 assists, the 26-year-old Moroccan player was the main architect behind the feats of his club Ajax Amsterdam this season.

At the top of the Dutch championship (tied with PSV: 77 points each), and finalist of the local cup, the Dutch club managed to reach the semi-finals of the European Champions League, by eliminating the two titans of the continent, Real Madrid and Juventus of Turin.

Under contract with Ajax Amsterdam until 2021, the Moroccan international could however change jerseys for an offer of 25 million euros, a good deal for the giants of the old continent.

Indeed, several European teams have shown interest in the Moroccan star, even if no concrete offer has been revealed to date. Ziyech will, however, have the embarrassment of choice if he is led to leave his club: the two Manchester clubs, Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as Bayern Munich and AS Roma. Unless he decides to play it safe by staying at Ajax Amsterdam.
