Hakim Ziyech Talks Bayern Munich Rumours After Signing Ajax Contract

Hakim Ziyech said he could have joined Bayern Munich this summer but decided to sign a new contract with Ajax because the German club took too long to make a move.

Ziyech signed a new deal on Friday, extending his stay in Amsterdam until 2022, amid links to the Bundesliga champions.

On the prospect of entering his fourth season with the club, he told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad's Freek Jansen (h/t Goal's James Westwood):

"I really enjoy playing for Ajax. It feels good.

"I am sure Sevilla are a nice club, but I have always said that everything needed to be just right if I were to make a move.
