Chelsea ace Hakim Ziyech happiest in central role

Chelsea ace Hakim Ziyech admits he's happiest in a central role.

Ziyech has revealed he loves playing as an inside forward as it provides him with freedom and a host opportunities.

The Moroccan told Chelsea's official website: “It is a position where I love to play.

“Without the ball having your responsibility but with the ball being free and trying to find space and trying to play football. That is what I like the most.

“Get between the lines, find space, between the lines with the one or two touches.

“Especially in that position you have a lot of options because is the defender coming out, yes or no?

“If he is not coming you can turn around and find the striker or the left winger or the right winger in space. You have a lot of options."
