Arguably the most expensive player on this list, Hakim Ziyech is an assist king from Eredivisie.

Currently plying his trade in Ajax, the Moroccan sensation has already notched up nine assists and four goals, helping the Dutch giants maintain their lead at the top of the table. His record with the Moroccan national team is even more impressive with seven goals in just twelve appearances.

Creating chances for his teammates is one of Ziyech's main strengths. The 24-year-old is very fluid in the attacking half while his dynamic movements make it very difficult for the opposition to keep a track on him.

Furthermore, Ziyech is also very comfortable with the ball, even at full pace. In addition, his set-piece prowess and vision are also decent which makes him a complete package altogether!

Currently valued at €20 million by Transfermarkt.com, Hakim Ziyech is expected to make a big impact in the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which could further escalate his price tag. Therefore, Arsenal would definitely want to seal a deal for the Ajax superstar in the January transfer window.
