Hakim Ziyech's Chelsea exit takes a big twist as Man United sweat for Ajax's Antony at this late stage of the transfer window.
The Blues are in the process of trying to rebuild and add fresh blood to an attack which has faltered for many seasons now. Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner have already departed with Callum Hudson-Odoi's Bayer Leverkusen loan also imminent despite training hints. Ziyech, 29, came off the bench for a mini cameo in the Leeds United loss and straight after, flew to Ajax for face-to-face talks. Conversations that have led to personal terms being agreed.
Initially, it looked as though it would be a straight loan deal for the Moroccan to return to a club in which he has so many great memories. His brother had hinted at this move with a cryptic Instagram post. Since this hint was dropped though, Ajax have seemingly made progress on potentially making more of the situation as they explore a permanent solution to compensate for a potential Antony exit.
