Ambitious newly-promoted Spanish club interested in Hakim Ziyech

Elche made the news by targeting a loan deal for Tyrell Malacia. It now seems the Spaniards also want Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan international played for Al-Duhail in Qatar for the past six months, but is a free agent.

Voetbal Internationalโ€™s Joost Blaauwhof has reported that Elche seem open to the idea of signing Ziyech, whose contract this summer.

Elche and Ziyech have reportedly both inquired about each other, but โ€œthe gap between supply and demand remains significantโ€. The Spanish club donโ€™t normally pay large salaries, so the parties will either have to compromise or explore other options.

Blaauwhof concludes, saying that โ€œbecause Ziyech is a free agent, he can be signed even after the transfer window. For now, the left-footer isnโ€™t willing to make huge financial concessions, especially since thereโ€™s no time pressure and interest in the former Ajax player is growing from various quarters.โ€
