Ajax playmaker Hakim Ziyech could be one of the most fought-after players in the summer transfer window with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United said to be keen on the Moroccan star.
The 26-year-old has been one of the Amsterdam-based club's top performers since joining from FC Twente in 2016.
He is a gifted dribbler and passer on the ball who is always ready to test a goalkeeper from range, and has previously linked with Tottenham Hotspur as a potential replacment to Christian Eriksen.
In his nine Champions League appearances so far this season he has scored twice and set up two other goals, with a tally of 15 goals and 12 assists in the Eredivise.
Ziyech is capable of playing out wide on the right and the left, behind the striker as the No. 10 and in central midfield.
According to the Mirror , a clause in his contract means that the creative midfielder is available for a mere £25million this summer.

The departure of Aaron Ramsey is set to leave Arsenal short of a goal-scoring, dynamic midfielder and Ziyech could fit the bill as a worthy replacement.
Liverpool are another club who have long been linked with the midfielder, while Manchester United could use his ability to upgrade their options at right wing.
Manchester City are also named as potential suitors, and the Morocco international would fit in well with the likes of Bernardo Silva and David Silva due to his quality on the ball.
