Chelsea Seeks Quick Exit for Unwanted Midfielder Hakim Ziyech

Chelsea is determined to show Hakim Ziyech the door. The attacking midfielder who so much wanted to regain the playing time he no longer has at Stamford Bridge has not been assigned a number within the London club. A few days earlier, the new Blues coach Mauricio Pochettino did not call him up for the pre-season tour in the United States. Chelsea expects the Moroccan international to quickly find another club, says transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2020 as part of a 35 million euro contract, Hakim has failed to establish himself at Stamford Bridge. He scored 14 goals and provided 13 assists in 107 games in all competitions. In January, his transfer to PSG fell through at the last minute due to the delay in Chelsea’s transmission of the administrative documents necessary for the homologation of the Moroccan international’s contract. Recently, his transfer to Al Nassr, in Saudi Arabia, failed following an alleged knee problem during the medical examination. But the former Ajax star, for his part, mentioned a financial disagreement.
