"I don’t even know where to start for expressing how I’ve experienced this journey. I guess making the Europa League final, making the Champions League semi-final, winning the Johan Cruijffschaal, winning the KNVB Beker, winning the Eredivisie and becoming football player of the year says enough about how beautiful these years were.

"I want to thank everyone at Ajax for making this next step possible. You have all played a part in my progression over the last years.

"I hope you are proud of that, at least I’m proud to have worn the jersey of the best team in the Netherlands. Until we meet again."

Ziyech's touching post came weeks after he showed another glimpse of his class by handing over shirts to youngsters at Ajax's training ground.
