After this crazy adventure with Ajax, Ziyech has just signed a 5-year contract to join Frank Lampard’s Blues, after the covid-19 episode for an amount of 44 million euros.

Unable to say goodbye on the pitch in front of his many fans due to the health crisis, number 22 of Ajax was given a heartfelt tribute from his club.
