Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have agreed a loan deal for winger Hakim Ziyech, football.london understands.
The 29-year-old has been open to move from Chelsea all month-long it's understood and Todd Boehly has now granted the Moroccan his wish. Ziyech will join PSG for the remainder of the 2022/23 season but there is no obligation to purchase once the loan deal is up.
Ziyech flew to Paris on Monday evening, football.london understands, and took his medical on Tuesday morning. The Morocco international had been waiting in the French capital for the two clubs to reach an agreement and that has now been done.

There was plenty of interest in Ziyech's signature from around Europe, but he chose PSG when they came calling earlier this week. The former Ajax winger has been unsettled at Chelsea for a while now and wanted to leave the club last summer, but no move materialised.
Ziyech joined Chelsea on a permanent transfer in the summer of 2020 from Ajax when Frank Lampard was in charge at Stamford Bridge. However, under Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and now Graham Potter, Ziyech has been unable to really cement a spot down in the first-team.
He enjoyed a strong World Cup with Morocco towards the end of last year and that earned him more opportunities under Potter, but he is now set to embark on a new chapter in his career.
