Hakim Ziyech has put the final touches on his £33.4m Chelsea transfer.
A deal bringing the Morocco international to Stamford Bridge was agreed with Ajax shortly after the January transfer window closed and he officially became a blue on July 1, 2020.
Although, as explained by head coach Frank Lampard, the playmaker's arrival in the UK was delayed by about 10 days.
"They [and Timo Werner] haven't arrived. As the whole country is waiting on quarantine news we're also waiting on quarantine news, and we want to make sure the players can travel, move around and work as we'll need them to," Lampard revealed in his pre-Watford press conference last weekend.
"Timo Werner has only finished recently, so he's having a well-deserved break and will come back later on in July.
"Ziyech will come here earlier than that, but we need to wait on the quarantine news before we can be clearer on that."
Upon finally touching down in the UK ahead of the Blues' disappointing 3-0 loss at the hands of Sheffield United, Ziyech immediately reported for the club's Cobham training base.
With most of the first-team squad already en route to Sheffield, there was to be no first time training with his new teammates for the attacking midfielder.
Although he did have a conversation with the club's technical and performance advisor, Petr Cech before taking part in a light session, as seen in the images below.
Cech has recently praised Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia's role in the double deal for Ziyech and Werner.
"I would love to say so, but at our club there's only one person that makes things get over the line or done, which is Marina, obviously," he said when explaining his role in transfers.
"My part of the job is to make sure together with the manager that we are happy to identify the player we want.
"Then we want to make sure that the players is happy to join for football reasons.
"Then Marina and the club have to negotiate the other aspects of the deals. Obviously, she is the best person to do so.
"She has been doing it a long time now with a lot of success so there is no reason for anyone to try to step in and do it.
"As I said the football part is part of my job, and to make sure the manager is happy and the club is happy with the players coming in.
"Then Marina does the difficult part which is to negotiate with the club and all the conditions."
