A furious Hakim Ziyech reportedly sent desperate text messages to Chelsea owner Todd Boehly late on Tuesday night to sanction his loan move to Paris Saint-Germain – but he was left frustrated.
The Moroccan international – who starred for his nation at this winter's World Cup – saw his loan switch to PSG break down at the eleventh hour. So confident were all parties of the move being completed that Ziyech had spent the entirety of the day in the French capital to seal the deal.
Ziyech, who had already seen his minutes at Stamford Bridge limited this season, slipped further down the pecking order of Graham Potter’s squad following their January business.
