REVEALED: Chelsea boss Lampard sees Ziyech as his game-breaker

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard sees Hakim Ziyech as a game-breaker.

That's according to former West Ham teammate Rio Ferdinand.

Talking on his YouTube channel, FIVE, Ferdinand said: “He [Ziyech] was one of the signings that went a bit under the radar because he had an injury.

“I spoke to Frank [Lampard] just after he signed and he picked up his injury and he was majorly disappointed.

“He said: 'Rio this guy is the guy that can unlock things. If it's tight in a game he's the one especially away from home in the big games he can unlock things'.

“He has the personality, he wants to try things. He can give it away six times on the bounce but he'll still try that outlandish pass to create an opening. That's what Frank likes and that's what the team needed."
