Former Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz is urging Arsenal to move for Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

Boulahrouz says Ziyech's playing style fits "very well" with "a number of clubs".

"In that regard, I think Bayern Munich and Arsenal have really gone to sleep," he said on FOX Sports.

"He is a player who is important in attack, with his passes and creativity, but who also has an enormous zest for work.

"That zest for work was brilliant in the semi-final of the Champions League against Tottenham Hotspur."

Boulahrouz acknowledges that due to his risky fit, Ziyech can lose the ball a lot.

"But that is the player he is and you shouldn't try to take that away. Often enough the balls arrive and goals or dangerous moments arise. Ziyech knows what he wants. He feels good and he doesn't just go for something unknown, such as Sevilla or AS Roma. He earns well at Ajax, gains confidence and is appreciated. You don't just trade that in."
