Ziyech enjoyed a fantastic season in Amsterdam – helping Erik ten Hag’s side lift the Eredivisie trophy and the KNVB Cup.And, on a personal level, the 26-year-old claimed the club’s Player of the Year award thanks largely to his 21 goals and 24 assists in 49 games.Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars recently revealed Ziyech – who has a release clause of 25million – is free to leave in the summer.The ex-Arsenalwinger said: “He leaves when a top club comes.

“Many big clubs are buzzing around him.We promised Hakim [that we would] agree to a good transfer.”And it appears as though a move to north London could well be on the cards, especially if his comments from 2017 are anything to go by.When asked by former team-mate Justin Kluivert who would he like to play for, Ziyech told Ajax TV: “Well, I have two clubs.“They are Arsenal and Barcelona.
