Profile | Hakim Ziyech is a Dutch/Moroccan footballer born in the Netherlands. While his club career has panned out in the Netherlands so far, the Moroccan footballer of the Year 2016 is the target of major European giants. Playing on the left of a three-man attack for Ajax, Ziyech has stamped his authority on the game with his dribbling skills, express speed and accurate crossing and finishing. He’s a player with a constant eye for goal, relishing one-on-one duels with fullbacks on a regular basis. He made his club debut for Herenveen before securing a move to rivals FC Twente two years later and finally moving to Dutch giants Ajax in 2016. It was at Ajax that Erik ten Hag got the best out of him, playing him alongside Dusan Tadic and David Neres up front. He was a vital cog in the wheel of the Ajax side that dominated the Champions League 2018-19 beating the likes of Juve and Real Madrid away. Ziyech represented the youth teams for Netherlands, while he opted to represent Morocco at the 2018 World Cup. His gameplay, understanding and pace has made him a primary transfer target for many European clubs, including the likes of Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspurs, Arsenal and Real Madrid. However, the young prodigy intends to stay back in Netherlands and learn under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag. (Written by Priyansu) |
