‘I’m feeling great, sharp’ – Chelsea’s Ziyech ready for Premier League after Bournemouth win

The 28-year-old forward was happy with the progress the Blues are making this pre-season ahead of the start of the league campaign

Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech is ready to get the Premier League campaign started after the team’s 2-1 win against Bournemouth in pre-season friendly on Tuesday.

The Blues were forced to battle from behind to win the match as Bournemouth took the lead through Emiliano Marcondes before two quick goals courtesy of strikers Armando Broja and Ike Ugbo, both second-half substitutes, gave them a win on the Dorset coast.

The Moroccan forward was handed his first start of pre-season by coach Thomas Tuchel and he was by partnered Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic in the attack, as Chelsea were looking to build on their 6-1 win over Peterborough United last week.
