Chelsea youngsters Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount should be relishing the prospect of playing with Hakim Ziyech next season, as the new arrival will light up the Premier League, reckons Peter Crouch.
The 27-year-old is due to arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer after Chelsea agreed a £36.7m with Ajax for his services in February.
The Morocco international has been thoroughly impressive in the Dutch league and the Champions League in recent seasons, especially in Ajax’s memorable run to the semi-finals in Europe last season.
A regular goal-scorer and a creative force, Crouch believes Ziyech will bring a lot to the Chelsea team and will benefit his new teammates at Stamford Bridge, especially the younger players coming through.
‘I think he can light the Premier League up, I really do,’ Crouch told BT Sport. ‘I love watching him, the majority of it is his influence in matches is what I love.
‘He was part of such a young, vibrant Ajax side, but he’s going to a similar side at Chelsea. That’s what Frank Lampard wants at Chelsea, he wants young players.
‘I know he’s not as young as he once was, he’s 27 now, but he was part of that side. He’s got a fantastic left foot, tremendous ability on the ball. When he drops deep he can pick a pass.
‘We don’t know the situation with Pedro and Willian, they might move on. I think he will slip straight into that [spot] and become a huge asset for Chelsea, he can be a huge player for them next season.
