Marina opens up on summer transfer as five-year deal confirmed

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has opened up on why the club decided to sign Hakim Ziyech from Ajax.

The playmaker will complete his move to Stamford Bridge in July, after Chelsea agreed a deal worth £33.5million.

After announcing the transfer earlier this month, the Blues have now also confirmed that an agreement has been reached with the player on a five-year contract.

And speaking to the official Chelsea website, Blues chief Granovskaia explained why the Blues moved for Ziyech.

“We are delighted Hakim will be joining us in the summer, having been a key target of the club’s in this last window.

“He has consistently been one of the most dangerous attacking players in Europe in recent years, which we saw first-hand in our two games against Ajax in the Champions League.

“We wish Hakim and Ajax all the best for the rest of the season and look forward to welcoming him to Stamford Bridge in the summer.”
