You can also add his Sky Italy colleague Fabrizio Romano to that reliability.
So Chelsea fans can really start to get excited now about the arrival of Frank Lampard’s first Chelsea signing, Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech.
Well, I say arrival, but that obviously will not be until the summer physically. However, the deal is expected to be officially announced soon, with all agreements now in place.
And Romano reported the fine details before that, confirming that personal terms had been agreed between Chelsea and Ziyech, and that a 45 million euro fee had also been agreed.
The 26-year old Moroccan international is a very high profile player and will be a big signing for Chelsea, but for super low value. The left-footed attacker has had a glowing career so far, and will look for that to really peak at Chelsea in the Premier League.
