Hakim Ziyech personally texted Todd Boehly as he desperately tried to get his PSG switch over the line.
The Chelsea forward has struggled for minutes throughout his time in west London and was looking for a way out with a switch to Paris on the cards. Steps were being made to take Ziyech to the Parc des Princes but the deadline for lodging the paperwork was missed.
Ziyech was in the French capital by midday on deadline day as the deal was finalised. By 9.40pm the move was given the go ahead and PSG sent Chelsea their agreement - which needed to be signed and sent over to the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP).
