Leicester and Swansea go head-to-head over £6m-rated Morocco midfielder

Leicester City and Swansea City have reportedly joined the race to sign Morocco international Hakim Ziyech this month, according to De Telegraaf.

The Premier League clubs, who sit joint first and 18th in the current league standings respectively, are thought to be interested in bringing the FC Twente midfielder to England during the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old, who has four international caps for his country, has impressively scored 11 and assisted six goals in 19 appearances in all competitions for the Eredivisie outfit this season.

Ziyech, who is also being chased by the likes of Celtic, Borussia Dortmund, Anderlecht, AC Milan and Schalke, is said to be valued at around £6m by the Dutch club.
