Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech denied PSG transfer as club loses appeal after deadline day mistake

Hakim Ziyech has been denied a loan move to PSG and he will stay at Chelsea for the remainder of the season. The Morocco international was heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge over the past month, with a deal seeming likely on deadline day.

The French giants were said to be willing to take on Ziyech, who would take a slight financial hit to make the loan move for the rest of the season. However, the move collapsed as reports claimed that the wrong paperwork had been filed, the contracts were beyond the deadline as well as potential tech related issues standing in the way.

Given how things panned out, PSG made an appeal to the LFP (the French football league governing body) to see if they could get the decision ruled in favour of a loan. There was little hope for a successful decision, which ended up being the case the morning after as it was rejected.
