As Chelsea took a giant leap towards the Champions League, Hakim Ziyech took his first steps around a new home.
This was a first chance to watch his new team-mates at Stamford Bridge since November, when the winger's starring role in a 4-4 draw with Ajax helped persuade Chelsea he was worth £38million.


On Tuesday night, jewellery glinted from around Ziyech's neck and the hope for Frank Lampard is that he will soon sparkle in blue, too.
