Hakim Ziyech £38m transfer to Chelsea move confirmed by Ajax boss ten Hag and is shocked winger did not leave earlier – The Sun

HAKIM ZIYECH'S move to Chelsea has been confirmed by Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

Frank Lampard's side have reached a verbal agreement for the Moroccan star to join them in the summer for £38million.

Ajax supporters have been reluctant to believe their club would accept the bid from Chelsea for their star man.

But Ten Hag is shocked that the Eredivisie leaders have managed to keep hold of Ziyech for so long.

Speaking to Fox Sports, he said: "Ziyech to Chelsea? A transfer was coming, we expected it to happen.

"And I actually already expected this one or two years earlier.

"And each time it was: 'Wow, he stayed again.'

"We are just happy that we will still have him until the end of the season."

Chelsea have been long-term admirers of Ziyech, but were unable to lure him away from the Dutch club in January.
