Eds or macca can you confirm or deny the reported interest in the Moroccan guy from Ajax Hakim Ziyech?

{Ed002's Note - If there is interest then that would not be a complete surprise. There has been no approach to Ajax as of this morning.

"Hoffenheim and Sampdoria were disappointed with January 2016 rejections for Hakim Ziyech who chose to move to Ajax in the summer of 2016 over interest from Fenerbahce, Dortmund, CSKA Moscow, Sunderland, Swansea and Southampton. Other sides including Inter, Roma, Crystal Palace Leicester all looked to the player when he was at Twente. His agent has said that "Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs have come from England to watch my player" - who comes with a great deal of baggage - but there is nothing to substantiate that at all. Chelsea has a player on loan at Ajax, Spurs took a look at Dolberg and Liverpool, unless Coutinho is leaving, may have done the same."}

Andre gomes
Oxlade Chamberlain

Maybe this ziyech or meyer.

Business done. Just guessing from rumours and bits floating about and if I'm honest I'd take that at this point lol.

Van Dijk is not going to join. He will either stay at Southampton or join Chelsea. There's absolutely zero point signing Oxlade as he's not needed. Gomes is of interest to another of his agent's clients.

Andre Gomes is a good player but s poorer version of Emre Can for me. Pointless signing.

Got me curious with "baggage". Care to elaborate on that, Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant - the clubs will know.}

I'll fill him in Ed. Ziyech has a massive wardrobe. He never wears the same thing twice yet refuses to throw anything away. So what you think would be a cheap flight ticket to get him from Netherlands to liverpool is in fact quite expensive when you take into account his "baggage". This has been putting a lot of clubs off him.

Massive falling out with the Morroco national coach, bit of a big time Charlie according to some.

Picking up on what Leeeee posted and the Eds could probably confirm this but I've heard that Max Meyer's preference is to go to Spurs but possibly not until next year. Info came from a Schalke fan who has connections to the club.

Not sure I'm overly bothered as I don't think he's that great.

The only player i would want off that list is VVD, still think it's unlikely to happen though. Ox isn't needed and not really sure he would improve things. Though i hope he has a good season at Arsenal.
