Bayern Munich Ready to Rival Arsenal in Race to Sign Ajax Playmaker Hakim Ziyech

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are both keen on signing Ajax playmaker Hakim Ziyech, with the Moroccan having put in a number of eye catching performances this season.

The 26-year-old was one of the stars of the show as Ajax surprisingly knocked Juventus out of the Champions League this week, following on from their superb victory over holders Real Madrid in the round of 16.

His continued form has reportedly attracted the attention of Bayern, with the Bavarians preparing to replace long serving duo Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery this summer.

According to German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung, Niko Kovac's side are keen to explore the possibility of signing him this summer, though they do face competition for his signature from Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea.
