Liverpool will be among a number of clubs keeping a watching brief after Ajax confirmed in-demand winger Hakim Ziyech will leave the club this summer.

Ziyech was one of the stars of the Dutch side this season, who were within seconds of facing the Reds in next month's Champions League final and have completed a domestic double.

The 26-year-old Morocco international has scored 21 goals and contributed 24 assists in all competitions this season, and was named the club's player of the year.

It is believed Ziyech has a release clause in his contract that will be triggered by an offer of around £25million.

And now Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has indicated the player will be allowed to leave this summer with the club's blessing.

"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.

While unlikely to make any big-money moves this summer, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is contemplating bolstering his forward options, with the Reds reportedly having watched Ziyech along with several other potential targets this season.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have all also been linked with the right-winger, with suggestions Bayern are front-runners for his signature.
