FC Porto Target Hakim Ziyech Amid European Interest
Moroccan midfielder Hakim Ziyech could be set for a move to Portuguese giants FC Porto, according to reports from Bola. The 22-year-old, currently at FC Twente, has attracted widespread attention across Europe thanks to his prolific performances in the Eredivisie.
Ziyech joined Twente in 2014 and has since scored 25 goals in 56 appearances. This season, he has been directly involved in 83% of his team’s goals, underlining his importance and influence in the Dutch side’s attack. Such statistics have not gone unnoticed, with Porto reportedly placing themselves at the forefront of the race to sign the Moroccan international.
The Portuguese club aims to capitalise on FC Twente’s ongoing financial difficulties to secure Ziyech’s services, reportedly submitting an offer to bring the midfielder to the Estádio do Dragão. His creative flair, goal-scoring ability, and playmaking skills make him a valuable target for clubs seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Ziyech’s performances have also sparked interest from other European sides, including Belgian club Anderlecht, highlighting the competition he faces in choosing his next destination. For FC Porto, landing the Moroccan could provide a significant boost as they seek to maintain domestic dominance and strengthen their squad for European competitions.
As negotiations continue, all eyes will be on how Twente responds to Porto’s overtures and whether Ziyech will remain in the Eredivisie or make the move to Portugal in the coming transfer window. The situation underscores the growing reputation of the Moroccan international as one of Europe’s most exciting young midfielders.
