Ziyech has been getting a lot of praises after showing glimpses of what to expect from him in England in these couple of weeks.
The 27-year-old’s bright start to life in West London has forced fans to compare his passing skills to Fabregas, who showed similar qualities during his four-and-half year stay in Chelsea before joining French Ligue 1 side Monaco.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona man has made an interesting prediction about Ziyech, insisting that the former Ajax man will take Chelsea to the top.
“He’s a very good player. He has this vision that you need in a top team like Chelsea, who wants to win and be champions. You could see that they were lacking ideas last season and maybe at the beginning of this season, but with Ziyech, you can see that he has this last pass,” Fabregas told 90min.
“It’s not only that he sees it, it’s that he makes it right, at the right time. That’s the decision-making that we talk about nowadays.”
“Why are coaches so tactical? Because they see the decision making of the players is not that good, so they always need to teach them what to do. Before, I believe that coaches were not as on top of the players as they are now, they felt that maybe there was not as much need because the players already saw it themselves, but I believe that Ziyech is one of these players.
“He makes things happen, things that the defenders don’t expect. They don’t expect the pass, you catch them sleeping and you have someone like Timo Werner making great runs in behind. I think this is where Chelsea could be so powerful this year.”
