Van der Meyde questions Ziyech move: Chelsea not a top club

Andy van der Meyde thinks Hakim Ziyech has made a mistake joining Chelsea.

The former Ajax and Everton winger believes the Blues are not a "top club", and that Ziyech should've instead joined Bayern Munich.

He told VTBL: "It's time for him to leave. Hakim is ready, he has to take the next step.

"The Eredivise is a training party for Ziyech. It makes sense that he looking for a new team. You need that as a top athlete.

"I just didn't expect him to go to Chelsea. I don't think it's a top team nor a stable club. I would have expected Bayern Munich or something of that size.

"Of course, it could be the hierarchy under below Liverpool changes if Manchester City are really punished and maybe Chelsea will benefit from it and they will play for the prizes, but then again, if they play, I don't think: 'Wow, I'll stay at home and watch'."
