It was announced earlier this month that Chelsea had reached a deal with the Dutch club for Ziyech’s signature, but now that the player has agreed on the contract, the transfer is very much done and dusted.
The Morocco winger, who will join the Blues on July 1 for an initial fee of £33.4 million, is to remain at Ajax for the remainder of the season.
He is Frank Lampard’s first signing as Blues boss and when the deal was announced he told the club’s website that he is “delighted and proud” to have signed for a huge club like Chelsea and is looking forward to winning silverware with the club.
Ziyech is just what Chelsea need and looks to be a very exciting signing for the club. He has laid on more than 20 goals in each of the last three seasons and has scored 49 times for the Dutch side so Chelsea fans have a lot to look forward to if he can carry on.
