A big thank-you to everyone supporting the advertisers and now onto the Hakim Ziyech news today
I had heard that the Ajax winger had turned down a Spurs approach a couple of months ago. However, now I'm hearing that his agent has recently met with club officials.
Whether Sours have instigated that for the 26-year-old (27 next March) or his agent is looking to engineer something I don't know. I suspect it is his agent wanting to generate a move or interest in his client, trying to flush interested clubs out or maybe we are trying to deflect attention.
Bayern Munich have spoken with his agent and are also looking at 21-year-old (22 in October) Spurs-linked Steven Bergwijn (PSV Eindhoven), 25-year-old (26 in September) Yannick Carrasco (Dalian Yifang), 21-year-old (22 in August) Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen), Spurs-linked 21-year-old (22 next May) Dani Olmo (Dinamo Zagreb) and 22-year-old (23 in November)Marc Roca (RCD Espanyol).
Liverpool won't pay the rumoured €30-35m (£27.01-31.51m - $33.65-39.25m) Ajax are looking for, but I hear both Ziyech and Bergwijn favour a move to Bayern Munich so nothing about their futures will be decided until the German club have arranged new winger signings. In the meantime, both players need to know what other options they have.
Neither are the first choice for the Bundesliga giants.
Twenty-six is an awkward age for us as we would be looking to move players on when they get to 30 so we can still command a fee for them and thus have money to replace them with someone younger who can give more years service.
We want them up to 23 really, giving them time to develop, then we can grab their best years and sell before their influence starts to decline. Just look at all the ages of the players Bayern Munich are looking at to replace Robben and Ribéry.
For all those of you clamouring for quality players in their prime, that isn't how clubs overate anymore, they look to the future and want players they can keep for years, hence the value of young players with potential has shot up.
Ziyech has just had a very poor Africa Cup of Nations after a successful domestic and European season.
My personal view, I don't think anything will come of it, he is perhaps a couple of years too old for us now.
