If you track back all the way to November 2019 when Hakim Ziyech lit up Stamford Bridge for Ajax, it was understandable why the excitement over the announcement of his signing three months later was palpable.
This upcoming Thursday will mark two years since Chelsea originally announced the five-year deal to sign the Moroccan for £33.3m.
Ziyech's transfer began a major summer of business that would aim to ignite a new attacking lineup after the departures of Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro. Although it has taken over a season and a half, Chelsea are finally starting to see the value of their investment on Ziyech.
