Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana says departing teammate Hakim Ziyech will be a star with Chelsea.

The Cameroon goalkeeper, who has been touted for a move to Chelsea himself in the upcoming transfer window, believes that Ziyech has what it takes to be a success in the English top flight.

Speaking to NOS, Onana said: “When he leaves [Ajax], we will lose the most brilliant player on the team. It will not be easy.

“He was already here when I got here. I can understand why [he is leaving]. I understand his choice.

“I am happy for him and proud of what he has done for this club. I wish him the best of luck. He's going to destroy everything [in the Premier League]."
