Rabat – Moroccan football player Hakim Ziyech has appeared in a music video titled “Follow your dreams,” bidding farewell to his Dutch team, Ajax Amsterdam, with a rap.
The Dutch-Moroccan footballer is set to join the British Premier League team Chelsea once the Dutch league, Eredivisie is over this summer. The €45 million deal with the London Club places Ziyech among the most expensive players in the world.
Dutch rap/hip hop singers Emms and Joanna Fraser uploaded the music video to YouTube on May 17. The video features Ziyech and his highlights with AFC Ajax.
Ziyech earned the moniker the “Wizard of AMS,” claiming his third consecutive Player of the Year Award for the team on May 14.
In a socially-distanced award celebration, Ajax invited the Moroccan midfielder to review and react to memorable moments with the team in the form of a 40-minute documentary demonstrating the player’s highlights, since 2016, which left him in tears.
Former Dutch professional football player Mario Been said in November 2019 Ziyech had nothing “more to learn” in the Eredivisie, the highest championship in the Netherlands.
“He is so far the best player we have here,” Been added.
The Moroccan international agreed to join Chelsea with a five-year deal.
Talking about his upcoming adventure, Ziyech said he is proud to have signed for a club as important as Chelsea, adding that he is looking forward to next season and hoping to achieve “great things.”
As a member of the Atlas Lions, Ziyech played for Morocco in the 2018 World Cup.
