Arsenal transfer target Hakim Ziyech will leave Ajax this summer, it has been confirmed.
The Dutch club's sporting director Marc Overmars has revealed the news although he hasn't confirmed where the 26-year-old is heading.
Ziyech has enjoyed a superb season for Ajax, helping them reach the Championship semi-finals and clinch a domestic double.
The Moroccan international has been attracting interest from a host of clubs with Arsenal joined by Man United and Liverpool from the Premier League.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with the midfielder who scored 21 goals and has 24 assists this season.
Ziyech has been non-committal on his future thus far, saying after the club sealed the Dutch title this week "That [a move] will come by itself. When that happens, everyone will automatically hear it."
But Overmars has now discussed the deal and it seems like he will depart.
"He leaves when a top club comes," said the Ajax boss. "He is in focus because of his achievements in the Champions League.
"Many big clubs are buzzing around him. We promised Hakim [that we would] agree to a good transfer."
