‘Chelsea aren’t a top team & Ziyech should’ve gone to Bayern’ – Van der Meyde questions future call of Ajax star

Hakim Ziyech has made a mistake in agreeing to link up with Chelsea, says Andy van der Meyde, with the Blues not considered to be a “top team” in the mould of Bayern Munich.

German giants were said to be casting admiring glances in the Ajax winger’s direction before it was revealed that a move to Stamford Bridge is to be made.

Ziyech will see out the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign in the Netherlands before making a €40 million (£33m/$43m) switch to England.
