Ajax star Hakim Ziyech free to join Chelsea in planned £36.6m move in June with Eredivisie set to be cancelled... but midfielder won't be able to play for his new team this season even if it is delayed

The Dutch season is set to be cancelled on Friday clearing one obstacle to Hakim Ziyech's move from Ajax to Chelsea.

Eredivisie clubs are expected to agree to finish their season early after the Dutch government extended a ban on all major events due to the coronavirus pandemic until September 1.

With no subsequent extension to the season players who were set to leave their Dutch clubs at the end of the campaign will then be free to move on, as anticipated, on June 30 because of the premature finish.
