Ex-Ajax star says Chelsea have 'new Ibrahimovic': Solanke likened to Zlatan

Former Vitesse Arnhem and Ajax fullback Ferdi Vierklau is a big fan of Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke.

Solanke has impressed for Vitesse this season during his loan.

Vierklau told De Telegraaf: "Only 18 and already doing so well. I expect him to be playing only one season here, as Chelsea will take him next year and may want to loan him to an English club.

"He's really an executioner. A tyrant!

"With the most impossible balls he sometimes does something beautiful. In that respect, he is a bit reminiscent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
