Chelsea have been dealt another major blow to their hopes of offloading Hakim Ziyech. The 30-year-old winger has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for a while now after falling out of favour under several managers.
Ziyech, who sees his contract expire in 2025, featured 18 times for the Blues in the Premier League last season, directly contributing towards just three goals. Despite chalking up a number of appearances, the Morocco international started just six matches and averaged a mere 36.3 minutes per game.
Frustrated with his lack of opportunities in west London, Ziyech sought an escape route in January and Paris Saint-Germain emerged as a potential destination late into deadline day. It's said that there was even an agreement in place which would have seen the winger join the French giants on loan until the end of the season.
