Hakim Ziyech

“Things that happened in the past when I was younger, all this stuff when you're playing on the streets, it makes you hard as a person.”

“The Premier League is a great competition, especially because of the fast thinking, technical players.”

“I didn't even dream of one day being voted the best player in the country.”

“I took my time to improve, learn and grow as a person.”

“I'm just myself, I don't pretend otherwise.”

“I have knowledge of people and I don't like fake people.”

“For me it doesn't matter where I'm playing, it's just the way I love to play.”

“I am always someone who is very picky and there must be a club that I want to trade in for Ajax. That doesn't just happen.”

“I say what I think and that's why I'm not the easiest guy for some coaches.”

“At the end of the day if you perform on the pitch that's why most of the clubs are buying you or not.”

“I am delighted and proud to have signed for such a huge club as Chelsea.”

“When I was young and playing on the streets I always played against older guys and they didn't back down, even when you were too good for them they were just kicking and those types of things make you hard as a person.”

“Eden is a world-class player and you always take inspiration from that.”

“I always know what I'm capable of doing.”

“In the end I always believe in myself and trust in myself and always believed in my own strengths, so it didn't really bother me what other clubs and people think.”

“I don't really care what people think about.”
