It was a coup for Chelsea to get the striker Ziyech, one of Ajax's top scorers last season and who was on most of Europe's eyes.
An agreement had already been made between the clubs, there still needed to be an agreement with the footballer on his new contract. That took place on Monday 24th February after negotiations.
Chelsea announced in an official statement that Ziyech will be at Stamford Bridge for the next five seasons and reiterated that the footballer will stay at Ajax for the rest of the season.
On 1st July, Ziyech will pack his bags and head for England to begin an exciting new adventure in the Premier League. "We are delighted Hakim will be joining us from 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," Marina Granovskaia said.
