HakimZiyech will join Chelsea next season
Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, new signing Hakim Ziyech has expressed his belief that the club can close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Blues are currently 30 points behind Liverpool and 12 behind Manchester City. There is no denying that we are at the moment playing catch-up to two exceedingly strong teams.
Ziyech was in attendance as Chelsea huffed and puffed their way to a 1-0 win over Norwich City. It was hardly a vintage performance, but the three points helped us solidify our hold on the third spot.
The club have however done their bit to ensure Frank Lampard has all the tools to close the gap at the top. One of the players signed to spearhead the fight is Ziyech, who could not be any happier to be here.
“It means a lot [to play for Chelsea]. When you are a young guy you always want to play for a big club, in the Premier League of course.”
He admitted that Lampard was a key influence in him choosing to join Chelsea. Ziyech is extremely excited at the prospect of donning the Blue shirt and cannot wait to start.
“I cannot wait to play here, I’m excited and for me, it’s not fast enough to begin.”
A creative genius, the Moroccan has made 45 assists in 94 games over the last two seasons. He played a key role in Ajax Amsterdam’s dream run to the semifinals of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League.
He is no slouch in front of the goal and has scored a total of 29 goals in the same period. The prospect of him replicating the numbers for the Blues will truly be a sight to behold.
The prospect of teaming up Ziyech alongside a serial goalscorer in Timo Werner is a mouth-watering prospect. Add to it the brilliant Christian Pulisic and we have an attack capable of terrorizing any defence in the league.
The Blues are on the march again and we have a Moroccan at the heart of it.
