Graham Potter sent Hakim Ziyech message as Chelsea face dilemma amid great Morocco World Cup run

A Morocco fan berated Graham Potter ahead of the Atlas Lions' World Cup semi-final clash against France for the treatment of Hakim Ziyech. The out-of-favour Chelsea winger has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for some time now amid an uncertain future at the club.

The Blues are open to selling the Morocco captain should a suitable offer be tabled, football.london understands. It's said that the Serie A champions tabled a bid of €25million (£21m) in the summer - with €5million (£4.2million) to be paid this year and €20million (£16.8m) the next, but the bid was rejected.

Ziyech, who sees his deal with Chelsea expire in 2025, has featured just nine times for the Blues this season, averaging only 30 minutes an appearances. For his country on the other hand, he's seen as a hero and has started in each of Morocco's fixtures at the the World Cup in Qatar.
