The founder of The Blues spoke about his path to Stamford Bridge and how he was waiting for a major chance to come along like the side of Frank Lampard. Hakim Ziyech says that after having to wait until he turns 27 to play in the top league with Chelsea, he took the time to find the right step away from Ajax.
Indeed, in one of Ajax’s great teams, which reached the Europa League final and the Champions League semi-finals, the Morocco international received worldwide acclaim.
As Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, respectively, moved to Barcelona and Juventus, Ziyech refused concrete proposals from Roma and Sevilla, respectively.
