I think saying a 21 year old who’s played a handful of championship games could be “influential” is a bit much.
I watched a bit more of him today. A bit raw but his pace is terrifying. Seriously rapid.
If he can refine his game a little bit, retain the ball a bit better and be a little more clinical with his play in the final third he could be a really good player.
He also works extremely hard in his off the ball running, which is a quality we need in players. At £15m in today's market it's a no brainer if we get him. Could be a diamond in the rough or a cheap punt on a young talent.

The type of player we need, especially hard working off the ball.
Any relation to calamity?
Baz,
Definitely, just hope he has the quality on the ball to match.
No doubt he's still young KLS - but these type of skilled players do not take that long to excel and adapt.
He's difficult to stop when he's on the run plus his crossings inside the box are fairly accurate. We are desperately missing such an attribute.
Great... Now we need that Ziyech kid for RW 😀

===================
He did look the sort of player we need. Full of quality, threat and willing to run himself into the ground for the cause.
Daniel's a very good player.
Here's hoping he won't move to play a bit-part in a very big club.
He needs to play.

I'm happy with this potential signing but we should still be looking at players like Pepe and Sancho.

In fairness we've had 17 and 18 year olds who have come in and been influential before.
That's not to say he can be that good but who knows. Certainly looks a top talent anyway. Only negative is he's a dipper like you. Shame.

Yeah Ziyech is 26 and is a very good footballer but I'd prefer somebody a little better. I've watched him when he plays for Morocco and he can be inconsistent, which is the last thing we need at the moment.
Fairly happy we are looking at youth however we still need a leader or two in that dressing room. By the looks of it we do not have one whatsoever. Five players should be bought this summer. Two of which should be experienced imo

===============
Not sure much can be judged on players at international level - especially in teams like Morocco where there will be large variation in the quality of the players in the team.
He posed consistently good numbers for Ajax and looked brilliant against tough teams in the CL. Most tricky wingers blow hot and cold because they try difficult things on the pitch. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but what Ziyech seems to have is a very good work rate as well.
I'd love us to be in for Sancho next summer, but equally keen to see if Chong can take the chances he'll get over pre-season and next season.

Bargain if true. Very similar playing style to Mahrez but with a bigger work rate.
Not top class but a clear upgrade on Lingard/Mata for that RW position.
Benched,
He reminds me of a more lively Mahrez, too. He's the right sort of age, too. Especially if we're looking to also give Chong game time - he's not get in the way too much long term.

This is true but I also think he lacks that lightning pace for a wide player, a bit like Mahrez. I think he's better suited playing centrally.
I'm hoping Chong kicks on as well but what worries me about him is his skinny frame and decision making. I hope Ole gives his development the attention it deserves because he seems like a really exciting dribbler of the ball.

Would be a no brainer at the figure! The guy was fasting and covered more ground than our entire team against Huddersfield (felt like it anyway)... Plus there's real end product to the work rate...
Was he definitely fasting? 😮
