Grinning Ziyech spotted in Chelsea training kit for first time as new transfer beds in with Lampard’s squad

HAKIM ZIYECH took part in his first Chelsea training session on Saturday after completing his transfer from Ajax.

The Blues signed the playmaker for £38million back in February and he looked delighted to finally be pulling on his new team’s kit.

Ziyech, 27, took part in a light session at Cobham on Saturday

The new addition caught up with technical and performance advisor Petr Cech at the training ground

Ziyech took part in a light training session at Cobham while the senior squad were up in Yorkshire for the game with Sheffield United.

Neither the Moroccan nor fellow new arrival Timo Werner will be able to play for the club this season, despite their transfers officially going through.

After Ajax’s season ended early due to the coronavirus, he is set for a spell of fitness training before next season with Werner on holiday having finished RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga campaign.

And Ziyech posted on Instagram: “First session done for Chelsea.

“Very excited and happy to be here and can’t wait to see you guys at the Bridge soon.”

Fans were ecstatic to see the midfielder land in West London.

One Blues supporter tweeted: “This is wild, that happened quick! Let it begin…”

A Werner fan account wrote: “Our two signings already love goals against Spurs, it’s gonna be fun.”
