Hakim Ziyech is confident that his move to Chelsea won't be affected by the coronavirus pandemic and he expects to join his new club on July 1st.
The Moroccan signed a five-year contract with the Blues after they agreed a 40-million Euro fee with Ajax earlier this year.
"After I signed the contract that was it - on July 1 I am a Chelsea player. I haven't given it another thought," Ziyech told Dutch daily AD when asked about possible changes to the summer transfer window.
"It's nice for me to have some clarity. Nobody knows exactly what will happen to the transfer market. Clubs will be more anxious to attract players for large transfer fees.
"The question is when countries will really open again and I can safely start there. And then there is indeed the competition, which is played there. But I have no influence on that, I will see."
The 27-year-old has also hit out at yesterday's decision to end the Eredivise season without crowning champions:
"Come on, what nonsense I have heard. We are at the top anyway. All those stories that AZ deserved the title more because they beat us twice. So the goal difference, as it always is, doesn't count now?
"How did PSV become champions in 2007? Exactly, on one goal. That we are not official champions, well. Of course I would also have preferred to have won that title on the field, but if you have to choose one club as champion, then that would be Ajax to me."
