Chelsea fans react as €45m Ziyech deal agreed

Plenty of Chelsea fans are jubilant at exciting breaking reports from the Netherlands suggesting an agreement has been reached with Ajax for Hakim Ziyech.

According to reliable Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, Chelsea have verbally agreed to sign the 26-year-old midfielder for €45million (£37.8million) at the end of the season.

Ziyech has provided 40 assists in the Eredivisie since the start of the 2017-18 season and could add the creativity which Frank Lampard’s side have been missing all season long.

Not one Chelsea player is averaging over two key passes per game in the Premier League this season, meanwhile, Ziyech is averaging 3.7 in the Netherlands.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein has added that personal terms should be agreed in the coming days after talks developed this week.

These supporters are delighted with the news for a range of reasons, with some hoping for confirmation before the celebrations really begin…

matchday.
