Chelsea new boy Hakim Ziyech shows touch of class as Ajax transfer exit edges closer

Chelsea new signing Hakim Ziyech has paid a classy tribute to Ajax as he gets set to make the move to west London. The Blues reached a deal with the Eredivisie giants earlier this year for Ziyech to join them this summer. Ziyech regarded as one of the top playmakers in Europe having shone during his spell at the Johan Cruyff Arena. The 27-year-old scored six goals and provided 12 assists in 21 appearances for Ajax before the Eredivisie campaign was voided due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The Morrocan has really enjoyed his four-season stint at Ajax and he's now sent a classy message to the club as he gears up to finally touch down at Chelsea. "The last four years were amazing," Ziyech wrote on Instagram, alongside a series of images from his time in Amsterdam. "I don’t even know where to start for expressing how I’ve experienced this journey. I guess making the Europa League final, making the Champions League semi-final, winning the Johan Cruijffschaal, winning the KNVB Beker, winning the Eredivisie and becoming football player of the year says enough about how beautiful these years were. "I want to thank everyone at Ajax for making this next step possible. You have all played a part in my progression over the last years. I hope you are proud of that, at least I’m proud to have worn the jersey of the best team in the Netherlands. Until we meet again." Ziyech's touching post came weeks after he showed another glimpse of his class by handing over shirts to youngsters at Ajax's training ground. Source: Express
