Lampard sent shock Chelsea warning over new signing Hakim Ziyech

Robbie Savage has warned Chelsea boss Frank Lampard about their world class new signing Hakim Ziyech.

There has been alot said over the past few months since we confirmed that they have agreed a deal with Ajax to bring the impressive winger to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window.

Ziyech is easily regarded as one of the most creative players in Europe and has constantly found himself in the headlines for all the right reasons, especially after helping Ajax reach the Champions League semi-finals last season and helping the club regain that Dutch title.

The Morocco winger will join up with his new team-mates ahead of the 2020/21 campaign and Savage believes Lampard has got his hands on an exceptional talent.

Discussing Ziyech on BT Sport, the ex-Blackburn and Wales midfielder said: ‘Obviously we’re going to throwback to the Champions League final and Spurs beating Ajax on the way to the final.

‘In that competition Ziyech was very, very good so that will be a fantastic signing for Chelsea. ‘Christian Pulisic, we’ve not seen the best. He had that little spell where he started scoring a few goals.

‘Under Frank Lampard, before the start of the season, I didn’t think Chelsea would finish in the top four or possibly even in the top six so, for me, Frank has done a very good job considering going into the season there was the transfer ban.’

There has been alot said about the quality of Ziyech and what he will bring to the club, but many will be hoping that he does fit into the side and does not compromise the development of the talented wingers at the club. He is a world class player that was a great signing…lets hope he becomes that!
