Target Arsenal and Liverpool refuse transfer to Seville

Ajax's attacking midfielder, Hakim Ziyech, has declined the offer to join the Liga club, Sevilla, as he does not think it represents a breakthrough.

The 26-year-old played a key role in Ajax's sensational run at the Champions League semifinals last season, helping his team beat Real Madrid and Juventus before being finally eliminated by Tottenham.

With former teammates Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt who traveled to Barcelona and Juventus respectively, Ziyech has also been linked to a transfer to one of Europe's elite clubs. .

After Ajax's 2-0 win over PSV in the Dutch Super Cup, Ziyech revealed to Fox Sports that the only offer received for his services came from Seville.

"I feel at home here and I play a lot," said Ziyech. "I think Seville has the same level of Ajax and I do not change it for nothing.

"The good club has not yet made an offer, so for now, I'm staying true to Ajax and doing my best in the field.

"I think everyone is very good at it. It's an excellent team. We are having fun and you should not give up that for nothing. You should not leave because you are gone; it must be something you fully endorse. "

Sevilla finished sixth in the league last season, failing to qualify for the Champions League, which could explain why Ziyech decided to stay put.

Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool would be interested in the player, but it would seem that they will have to wait until next year, Ziyech appearing to be satisfied with the club that they have. he joined in 2016 from Twente.

He recorded his best season so far last year, scoring 16 goals and creating 13 badists in Eredivisie, in addition to his three goals and three badists in the Champions League.
