Hakim Ziyech Signs Ajax Contract Extension Amid Bayern Munich Transfer Rumours

Hakim Ziyech has agreed a new contract with Ajax, with the Moroccan midfielder set to stay at the club until 2022.

The Dutch champions confirmed the new deal on Twitter:

AFC Ajax

Hakim is happy, what about you? ud83dude09 #ExtendingZiyech https://t.co/ypst7fx0AD

Ziyech's previous contract was due to expire at the end of the 2020-21 season, and it will be a relief to Ajax supporters that he has committed his future to the club.

The news should also put a short-term dampener on rumours regarding a possible departure for Ziyech. Per Goal, Bayern Munich have been linked with the 26-year-old recently, with their other summer target Leroy Sane suffering a knee injury in Manchester City's Community Shield showdown with Liverpool.
