Gronkjaer: Chelsea fans can be excited about Ziyech, Pulisic combo

Former Chelsea winger Jesper Gronkjaer is keen to see Hakim Ziyech in action at Stamford Bridge.

The Ajax midfielder is moving to Chelsea for a deal rising to €44m.

Gronkjaer told Goal: "Ziyech is one of the players that has caught my attention in the past two seasons, even though he is not a product of the Ajax academy. You need players like him. I think every top club has watched him and wondered if he's good enough for their team.

"He is a fantastic player and I think he will play directly in the starting eleven with Chelsea. Almost any Premier League club can afford a player like Ziyech.

"Ziyech is a great addition to Chelsea and he will often get a starting place. In addition, we have yet to see the full potential of Christian Pulisic, he is also a great player. There are many things to look forward to at Chelsea."
