According to Voetbal Centraal, Zenit St Petersberg have made a €7m offer for West Ham target Hakim Ziyech.
The report says that Zenit have made a €7m bid for the player, as Hertha Berlin, Napoli, Sevilla and West Ham have too.
West Ham are thought to be very keen on signing Ziyech, so the competition is certainly not welcome from their side. The Hammers will now have to fend off interest from numerous sides if they are to land Ziyech.
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.
Ziyech’s current club, FC Twente, have run into some financial difficulties. This has opened the door for him to leave this summer and his exit from Holland is looking ever more likely by the minute.
€7m is thought to be around €3m below the €10m asking price FC Twente have set this summer, which means all of the interested parties will now have to scrap it out to persuade the star attacking midfielder to sign for their respective team.
This includes West Ham, who have the lure of Premier League and Europa League football.
