Ajax have turned to Sevilla winger Lucas Ocampos after growing frustrated with Chelsea’s asking price for Hakim Ziyech.

The Dutch giants are trying to find a replacement for Brazilian winger Antony who looks set to join Premier League side Manchester United.

Their first choice had been to bring Ziyech back to the Johan Cruyff Arena. The Moroccan attacker left Ajax in 2020 to join Chelsea, but has struggled to cement himself as a regular first-choice player.
