FC Twente star Hakim Ziyech should be playing for Chelsea, says Foppe de Haan.

De Haan, 72, believes the Blues, who are rumoured to be one of the team's interested in signing the midfielder, should've added him to their squad in the January transfer window.

"If I were Guus Hiddink, I would have taken him," the Heerenveen interim boss told De Telegraaf.

"He fits Chelsea. With the solutions that he comes up with he is better than other players who are currently there.

"He can absolutely succeed there. Hakim can also play as a striker so he can set the goals up and also score himself easily.

"Some guys are so talented that they look anywhere and see a challenge. Hakim is like that."
