West Ham are keen on signing impressive FC Twente midfielder Hakim Ziyech this summer, who is also wanted by Crystal Palace, Southampton, Swansea and Sunderland this summer.
According to the Daily Star, the 23-year-old is tipped to make the move from Dutch football to the Premier League with clubs queuing up for his signature.
The Moroccan international has proven to be one of the best goalscoring midfielders in European football since his £2.6m move from SC Heerenveen to FC Twente two years ago.
Ziyech scored an impressive 17 Eredivisie goals last season, assisting 12 more in 33 appearances, and has recorded 32 goals and 29 assists in 72 games for the club since his arrival.
Goals from midfield isn’t something West Ham were lacking last season. Dimitri Payet top-scored with 12 goals in all competitions from attacking midfield, while Manuel Lanzini and Mark Noble both chipped in with seven goals and Cheikhou Kouyate netted five times himself.
However, Ziyech has proven to be prolific from midfield in a way which is very Frank Lampard-esque from his prime years at Chelsea. For the right price, he could be a fantastic addition to the squad.
