Speaking to Ajax TV (h/t Chelseafc.com), Ziyech said:

“It [Chelsea] is a big club in a big competition. I like the style of play, they play really attacking football, and that is something that fits me and that is one of the biggest reasons I chose, therefore.”

When asked about Frank Lampard’s role in orchestrating the transfer, Ziyech admitted that he played a key part.

“We had a lot of contact in the last couple of weeks and he gave me a good feeling and that was also big to do with the decision,” he explained.
