Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has been warned by former Ajax star Rafael van der Vaart that he should leave Stamford Bridge.
Ziyech looked world-class during his time at Ajax, but that didn’t happen to him at Chelsea and it’s hard to imagine he’ll be with the west London giants for much longer.
The Moroccan international surely hasn’t lost all that talent completely, so he just needs a fresh start to help him enjoy his football again.
Van der Vaart certainly thinks it’s vital for Ziyech to go somewhere where he can play more often and play under less pressure, as it looks like there may be too much competition for him at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to Ziggo Sports, quoted and translated by Metro, Van der Vaart suggested that some players simply don’t have the personality to spend a few games on the bench and have to fight for their place in the starting eleven.

“I hope he goes to a club where he can just play and not worry about anything else. Ziyech is a kid who always has to play when you have him,” Van der Vaart said.
“When you get players, you buy them not only for their footballing qualities but also for how someone is.
“So you can say that Chelsea have so many good players, but guys like him don’t like to sit on the bench.
