Manchester United are said to be taking the next step towards signing Hakim Ziyech, with Erik ten Hag known to be an admirer of the Chelsea forward. The 29-year-old has been thinly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer amid an increasingly uncertain future under Thomas Tuchel.
Ziyech, who sees his contract with the Blues expire in 2025, started just 14 times in the Premier League last season, directly contributing towards seven goals. Despite a promising start to the campaign, a series of injuries saw the Moroccan quickly fall out of favour at Chelsea and has since been linked with an exit.
football.london understand that the west Londoners are open to selling Ziyech should a suitable offer be tabled. It's said that AC Milan have already made an offer of €25million (£21million) - €5million (£4.2millino) to be paid this year and €20million (£16.8million) the next - which was rejected.
