Liverpool looking to sign Ajax star Hakim Ziyech

It could be argued that Liverpool are still a player or two light in the midfield and attacking areas of their squad, but Jurgen Klopp is still working hard to bring in fresh faces before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

According to reports from Moroccan sports newspaper Les Lions de L’Atlas, the Reds are looking to make a move for highly-rated Ajax playmaker Hakim Ziyech this summer.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder made his name at FC Twente, scoring 34 goals and providing 30 assists in just two seasons at the club before completing a £10m move to Ajax last summer.

Ziyech was equally impressive in the Dutch capital, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most prolific creators, laying on 20 assists and netting 10 goals himself in 44 appearances during his debut season with Ajax.

Able to play in a traditional attacking midfield role or on either wing, Ziyech offers the kind of versatility and fluidity in the final third hat Liverpool crave from their attackers, making him a perfect fit.
