Hakim Ziyech said goodbye to Ajax and the supporters on Sunday evening with a statement on Instagram. As of next Wednesday, the 27-year-old playmaker will be an official Chelsea player.
“The last four years have been great. I don’t even know where to start to express how I experienced this journey, ‘Ziyech begins, then list all the highlights. ‘I think reaching the Europa League final, the semi-finals in the Champions League, winning the Johan Cruijff Scale, KNVB Beker and the Eredivisie and being named best player of the year says enough about how beautiful these years were . “
Ziyech will never forget his years in Amsterdam. ‘I want to thank everyone at Ajax for making this next step possible. You have all played a part in my progression in recent years. I hope you are proud of that, at least I am proud that I have worn the shirt of the best team in the Netherlands. Until next time.’
Ajax receives 40 million euros for Ziyech from Chelsea. That amount can rise to 44 million through bonuses. Ziyech has signed for five seasons. On Saturday he trained for the last time at De Toekomst.
