Chelsea are signing a ‘special player’ in Hakim Ziyech, according to Louis van Gaal. The former Manchester United manager has heaped praise on the Blues’ incoming midfielder.
Ziyech is set to join the club this summer. Chelsea signed a £33.4million deal for Ziyech in February, with the Ajax star due to finish the Eredivisie season in Amsterdam before moving to Stamford Bridge.
“He has developed tremendously at Ajax. Not so much in creativity, but as a team player,” Van Gaal told Dutch outlet NOS.
Ziyech scored eight goals and provided 21 assists for Ajax in 35 appearances across all competitions this term, having bagged 21 goals and 24 assists in 49 outings the year before.
