Ziyech, 26, has chipped in with 21 goals and 24 assists in 49 games this campaign - including a fine strike against Tottenham in the Champions League semi-final.

Scouts have regularly watched the ex-FC Twente ace in action this term, with Bayern Munich linked with a move for the player to replace Arjen Robben.

It has been claimed that the Bundesliga side have already made contact with Ziyech's representatives over a summer switch.

Speaking of the Dutch youth international, Overmars said: "He leaves when a top club comes.

"He is in focus because of his achievements in the Champions League.

"Many big clubs are buzzing around him. We promised Hakim [that we would] agree to a good transfer."

Ziyech will be available for a relatively low fee of £25million due to a clause in his contract.

Discussing his imminent exit, the player said: "That [a move] will come by itself.

"When that happens, everyone will automatically hear it."
