Erik ten Hag wants Hakim Ziyech
Erik ten Hag is being met with resistance from the Manchester United hierarchy amid his interest in signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea.
Ten Hag coached Ziyech, 29, at Ajax and has identified the Morocco attacker as an alternative left-footed attacker to Antony, who has been priced out of a move by Ajax as he is valued at €80million.
Ziyech is under contract at Chelsea until 2025 and was an unused substitute in their opening weekend win at Everton.
United have largely backed Ten Hag’s preference for targets familiar to him but Ziyech has been deemed an exception. The club was happy to lodge an €8m bid for 33-year-old Bologna forward Marko Arnautovic last week.
