H. Ziyechas explained why he decided to stay in "Ajax" ranks

Last season, the Amsterdam team "Ajax" surprised the whole of Europe, but this summer they lost several important players. However, a few days ago, they unexpectedly announced that Hakim Ziyech has signed a new contract with the club. The 26-year-old Moroccan player was of interest to teams like "Sevilla" and "Bayern" this summer, but H. Ziyech explained why he decided to stay with "Ajax". "I really enjoy playing for the 'Ajax' team. I am very happy that this will be my fourth season here. I am sure that 'Sevilla' is a great club, but I have always said that if I leave 'Ajax', the conditions elsewhere have to be ideal. 'Sevilla' did not give me that feeling, so I decided to stay here instead. Of course, I could have waited longer for an offer from 'Bayern', but I felt that it was time to dispel doubts about my future. If 'Bayern' wanted me, they could have made an offer earlier. I think everyone saw what we did last season and understands what my role was in the team," H. Ziyech said in an interview with AD. Last season, the winger played 49 matches for "Ajax", scoring 21 goals and providing 24 assists.
