Arsenal’s expectations of marking Hakim Ziyech from Ajax have been given a lift, after the player has been told he can leave this month, CalcioMercato reports.
The 26-year-old grabbed the attention, as the Dutch side astonished their way to the Champions League semi-finals last season.
It was a run that saw Ziyech score 21 objectives and register 18 helps over all rivalries.
From that point forward, Ziyech has been on the radar of top European groups, including Arsenal and opponents Tottenham Hotspur.
The Moroccan censured a transition to Sevilla a year ago, yet the club has now given him green light to leave, if his soliciting cost from £42.5million is met.
“I feel comfortable here and get the opportunity to play a great deal.
“I think Sevilla is from a similar level as Ajax and I don’t switch Ajax in vain.
“The correct club didn’t make an offer yet, so until further notice I simply stay with Ajax and do my absolute best on the field.
“I think everyone gets along truly well. It’s an extraordinary group. We have a ton of fun and you shouldn’t surrender that to no end. You shouldn’t leave on account of leaving; it must be something you completely affirm.
“Like I generally stated: it must be the ideal picture. Everything should be correct. I won’t leave Ajax until I have that feeling,” Ziyech revealed to Fox Sports following Ajax’s 2-0 win over PSV in the Dutch Super Cup
