Hakim Ziyech is one the most exciting stars in world football at present, and recent comments by the Moroccan’s agent means Liverpool fans may have reason to get excited.
The 25-year-old impressed with his country at the World Cup in the summer, and has returned to club duty with Ajax in sizzling form.
With four goals and three assists to his name early in the Eredivisie, several clubs had been linked with making a move for Ziyech.
Despite interest from AS Roma, Ziyech’s agent Rene van der Gijp has loftier aspirations for his player.
Quoted in Voetbal Primeur, Van Der Gijp said:
I hope that there will be a better club than Roma – an Arsenal or Liverpool.
The offer could be welcomed by Liverpool, who declined to sign Nabil Fekir in the summer due to health concerns. With a void in the attacking midfield left by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s absence, Ziyech could fill an immediate need.
When grilled on whether Ziyech should move to Merseyside rivals Everton, the representative was less enthused:
That would be crazy for that boy, he should not go to Everton,
Hard luck, Toffees!
