Ajax star drops transfer hint amid Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool interest

Hakim Ziyech has announced he could be inclined to remain at Ajax beyond the current season, claiming he is someone who is "very picky".

The Moroccan has scored 19 goals and added 20 assists in all competitions as Ajax have stormed to the top their domestic league and into the last four of the Champions League.

Matthijs de Ligt and David Neres are among those in the Ajax ranks drawing covetous glances from Europe's top clubs, while Frenkie de Jong has already agreed to a move to Barcelona for next term.

The Moroccan has been linked with Arsenal , Liverpool and Manchester United during Ajax's wonderful European run, but his reluctance to leave the Dutch side could yet scupper any possibility of a Premier League switch.

“Anything is possible," the attacking midfielder Ziyech told Inside Ajax .

“I am always someone who is very picky and there must be a club that I want to trade in for Ajax. That doesn’t just happen.”
