Ajax are reportedly keen to re-sign Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech as a replacement for Antony who looks set to join Manchester United.

Ajax are reportedly keen to re-sign Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech as Antony's replacement.

Manchester United appear to be closing in on a move to sign Antony after agreeing on a fee of £85m with the Dutch champions.

With the Brazilian set to head to Old Trafford, Ajax have already begun their search for replacements, with Ziyech identified as a possible option.

According to the Daily Mail, Ajax are targeting their former player, who left the club in 2020 to join Chelsea in a £38m deal.

However, he has struggled to become a first-team regular at Chelsea, and the arrival of Raheem Sterling has seen his game time reduce even further.

The Moroccan, who has three years left on his contract, has been an unused substitute in three of Chelsea's four Premier League games this term.

Ajax have been linked with a loan move for Ziyech with a buy option expected to be included in any deal, however, they could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur who have been credited with an interest.
