Ziyech: Chelsea new boy named Ajax Player of the Year third time in a row

Chelsea's latest signing Hakim Ziyech has been named Ajax Player of the Year for the third time in a row.

The Morocco playmaker was outstanding in Erik ten Hag's side with a contribution of nine goals and 18 assists across all competitions this season before the Dutch Eredivisie was annulled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ziyech joined Ajax from league rivals Twente in 2016 and during his four-year spell at the club, he won the Player of the Year award thrice – the 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
