Ziyech excited to work with Chelsea pals 'Kai, Timo and crazy Christian'

Hakim Ziyech has spoken of his decision to leave Ajax for Chelsea.

The Moroccan winger was the first of Chelsea's glut of big name incomings ahead of the season, with the signings of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva following.

"For the things to achieve I think it is clear that for everybody in the club it is winning trophies, to perform well and play beautiful football," said Ziyech.

"Kai and Timo are two big talents and have already proved it in the past with what they did for their clubs before, Christian is also one of the biggest talents.

"They have enough quality and Christian (Pulisic) he has already worked here longer than us so you see what he is capable of doing, he is just a crazy winger. I am really excited to be working with them, I can't wait to be with them fully fit on the pitch and doing our things."
