Transfer News: Hakim Ziyech is very keen to leave Chelsea

Hakim Ziyech is eager to pursue his career at other clubs and may decide to leave Chelsea

Hakim Ziyech has expressed a desire to leave Chelsea and appears to be testing the waters with another team. Ziyech’s playing time at the club may be restricted in light of Chelsea’s arrivals of Joao Felix, Mkyhailo Mudryk, and Raheem Sterling summer signing.

Ziyech has been given playing time as a result of Sterling’s injury and Felix’s three-match suspension, but the player hasn’t yet demonstrated a good enough level of play to start ahead of Sterling and Felix.

He also spoke up about the decision and indicated that he might switch clubs after the 2022 World Cup.

Numerous clubs, including Newcastle United, Everton, and Aston Villa, have been linked to the player. However, the reports claim that Paris Saint-Germain are in advanced negotiations with Chelsea to sign the 29-year-old.

The PSG head coach Christophe Galtier then disclosed that they are negotiating a permanent loan agreement to sign the Moroccan.

In an interview with Give Me Sport, Deans Jones revealed that the former Ajax player is really keen to join, saying:

“Hakim Ziyech’s transfer to PSG has been a complicated negotiation that has not been fluid.” In terms of the player himself, he’s ready and willing to sign. I’m told he’s been very keen on it, to be honest. “After being linked with Milan, Everton, Newcastle, and West Ham, he has the chance to play with Mbappe and Messi, so obviously he wants it to happen.”

After taking the Dutch team to the semifinals of the Champions League in 2018–19, Ziyech’s reputation soared as the player left Ajax for Chelsea.

With 14 goals and 11 assists in 98 games since joining the Blues, he hasn’t exactly been a standout player. This equates to one goal involvement every four games.

Given that they already strengthened that sector and it appears they are no longer dependant on the Moroccan, it won’t be shocking if they sell him if an ideal offer arrives.
