Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are set to battle for Hakim Ziyech's signature at the end of the current campaign.

The Morocco international has continued to impress for Ajax Amsterdam this season, having scored 19 goals and assisted a further 20 in 42 matches across all competitions thus far.

According to Sport, Bayern and Dortmund are among several clubs vying for Ziyech's signature with Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Roma all linked with the 26-year-old midfielder.

Ziyech, who is contracted to the Dutch giants until 2021, helped his club to the semifinals of this season's Uefa Champions League with a 2-1 (3-2 on aggregate) win over Juventus in Turin on Tuesday evening.

Ajax currently sit top of the Dutch Eredivisie table while they are also in the Dutch Cup final where they will face Willem II in their search for an unprecedented treble.

Dortmund sit a point behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern with five games remaining.
