Ajax star Hakim Ziyech has been accused of becoming distracted by his upcoming move to Chelsea, according to Sport Witness.
Ziyech has been in the headlines for all the right reasons over the past few weeks after he shocked many by agreeing a summer move to Chelsea, with reports revealing that the Blues and Ajax had agreed a £36 million fee to complete this summer transaction.
But the Chelsea hierarchy and Ziyech had yet to finalise personal terms ahead of his summer arrival, but that has now been wrapped up as Chelsea announced the deal early in February on their official website, and the move got many Chelsea fans excited for whom else will be arriving in the summer.
But, The Dutch champions struggled in the Champion’s League this season following their standout performances last term, they were knocked out at the group stage of the competition and beaten by Getafe in the Europa league last month, and Ziyech, who has failed to score or provide an assist since his Chelsea deal was announced in February, has been criticised in the Dutch press. One journalist reckons the player’s head is already at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to NOS journalist Henk Spaan said: “Ajax have had many injuries and opponents now have a good eye on how to fight them. “The upcoming transfers also play a role. Hakim Ziyech has signed with Chelsea. He is actually gone already.”
Look, it was a massive shock to see that Chelsea and Ajax had reached an agreement for Ziyech in February and it was a massive shock to see the announcement, but what else do Ajax expect? Ziyech will be moving to the Premier League and his focus until then will be to keep fit, healthy, and look ahead to life in England.
He cannot be blamed for the failing of Ajax this season, they have sold a number of their biggest stars, that is all we are saying. However, this deal should have been announced in the summer, that way he could be professional in his last few months with the Dutch Champions.
