The 25-year-old is one of the biggest talents in the Dutch top division and provided the most number of assists in three out of the last four seasons. He also won the Dutch Footballer of the year 2018 along with the Ajax Player of the Year 2018 accolade.

The Moroccan international scored nine goals last season and finished as the assist king in the league with 15 assists. He made 4.2 key passes per game last season and 75.4% of his passes found his teammates. Ziyech completed 3.4 dribbles per game in the 2017-2018 season which is more than all of Liverpool's front three - Mohamed Salah(2.2), Sadio Mane(1.9) and Roberto Firmino(1.3).

Hakim Ziyech is a versatile player who can inject creativity in the Liverpool's midfield and his ability to find space in the tight situations will also help the Reds break stubborn defences. His speed and technical ability will complement Jurgen Klopp's style at the club and a healthy competition for the places in the team will only get the best out of all the players.

Liverpool is being linked with the Ajax midfield maestro since the past few weeks and the Moroccan can be a perfect alternative if the deal for Nabil Fekir falls through.
