Hakim Ziyech is making a big impact with Chelsea's players around the club.

The Morocco international, 27, is reportedly 'friends with everyone' and a 'positive influence' at the club.

The £37m man has scored just goal and made three assists in 11 top-flight matches so far this season.

But a source told The Athletic that he has had a huge impact away from the pitch.

He is described as a confident character that gets along with everyone - especially Billy Gilmour.

The source said: "He's a good lad. A great mixer. He is friends with everyone. Hakim is confident without being arrogant.

“One minute, you will see him sitting with the (squad's) Germans, the next minute he is with the English and so on."

It is understood that he became close friends with 19-year-old Gilmour when they were both injured.
