Chelsea have hit back at claims that they were at fault for Hakim Ziyech ’s failed move to Paris Saint-Germain having blamed a computer defect.
The Moroccan was expected to leave Stamford Bridge on deadline day with a loan move to the French giants. He had even flown to Paris to negotiate directly with the club with a deal agreed between the two clubs.
But Ziyech’s switch collapsed in the final hours of the window after the relevant paperwork was not submitted before the deadline. PSG were left furious by the turn of events, reportedly accused Chelsea of being a “class-A circus” with reports suggesting that the London outfit had submitted the incorrect documentation on three separate occasions.
