Hakim Ziyech - Ajax's player of the season. Speaks volumes given their season and de Ligt & Frenkie de Jong in the team. Creates out of thin air, incredible IQ and is very tough to handle bc of his technique + unpredictability. Unconfirmed €25m release clause, would be robbery. - Maxi (@MaaxiAngelo) May 17, 2019
