SNAPPED: Abraham backing Chelsea move for Ajax ace Ziyech

Tammy Abraham is backing Chelsea's move for Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

De Telegraaf reports Chelsea have an oral agreement in place with the Eredivisie side and the deal is expected to be wrapped up before the summer.

The Blues came out of a two-window transfer ban in January but Frank Lampard resisted the urge to bolster his ranks in mid-season.

However, his interest in the playmaker, who boasts eight goals and 21 assists from 29 appearances this campaign, remains high and he is pushing for the move to be finalised.

Chelsea striker Abraham seems pleased with news that he could be supplied the goals by Ziyech next season as he liked a photo on Instagram which had the caption: “Ajax and Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of @hziyech this summer."
