The 23-year-old underwent his medical on Tuesday after Ajax had finally agreed a €11 million fee with FC Twente and Ziyech has now put pen to paper on a deal until 2021.
Ziyech could have moved to the Premier League, with Swansea City interested, but has instead opted for a move to Amsterdam, where he will add some much needed creativity to Peter Bosz’s midfield.
