Arsenal fans have been reacting to reports that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Ajax for the summer transfer of Hakim Ziyech.

As reported by The Daily Mail, the Blues have struck a £38 million deal with the Dutch giants for the Morocco international, with an announcement is expected in the coming days according to BBC Sport.

Table-topping Ajax are in the midst of trying to retain their Eredivisie crown and didn’t want to lose the player mid-season, but it would appear now they’ll be letting him go in the summer.

Ziyech has been an outstanding buy for the club since signing in 2016 from FC Twente.

In 159 appearances for the Amsterdam giants, he has scored 48 goals and made 82 assists.

Ziyech’s form led to reported interest from a number of teams around Europe, with Arsenal supposedly keen on the player.

Interestingly, Ziyech actually once named Arsenal as one of his two ‘dream’ clubs (the other being Barcelona) in an old Twitter Q&A (Mirror).

News of Ziyech reportedly bound for Stamford Bridge obviously reached Arsenal fans on social media, and it’s safe to say a lot are disappointed:
