LIVERPOOL BACK IN FOR ZIYECH

Liverpool are interested in a move for Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech, according to a report.

Calciomercato.com via Sport Witness report Jurgen Klopp has renewed his interest in the player, having watched the 25-year-old last summer.

The left-footed Morocco international, who is under contract until 2021, is also interesting Everton and Borussia Dortmund, although no bid has yet been received for Ziyech.

Ajax Life recently claimed the player was open to a move elsewhere.

“From the January transfer window, I have been clear that it was my intention to leave Ajax in the summer. “However, the situation has to be right at the next club. If that is not the case, then I will stay,” said Ziyech.

TEAMtalk sources reported that Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea, Watford, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough were all chasing the player in June 2016.

The former Twente man has scored nine goals and contributed 18 assists for Ajax this season.
