Palace linked with move for Moroccan international

According to The Chronicle, Crystal Palace are one of the sides who are interested in signing FC Twente’s attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

The 23-year-old is attracting interest from many Premier League teams due to his excellent form for club and country.

The attacking midfielder scored 17 times in the Dutch league last season.

Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea, Watford and West Ham are all also thought to be interested in Ziyech.

This means that the Eagles would face considerable competition for his signature this summer. Schalke and Borussia Dortmund are also thought to be keen on him too.

The Morocco international has played 72 times for Twente, scoring 32 goals for the Dutch side.

He is seen as one of the next best things to come out of Holland and a move to the Premier League may appeal to him as he looks to progress in his career.

Whether the Eagles can beat off the competition to sign him remains to be seen.
