Why Hakim Ziyech to PSG transfer deadline day move collapsed amid major Chelsea error

Chelsea ace Hakim Ziyech appears to have failed to secure a deadline day exit from the club, despite an agreement to join PSG on loan for the rest of the season. The winger has long been touted with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Todd Boehly granting that wish this month.

The Morocco international has struggled to fit into the side since signing under Frank Lampard from Ajax, though bright sparks at the World Cup and since the end of the tournament have shown his ability. With some of those performances shining through with the Blues, Graham Potter has praised the forward.

"We know his qualities and we like him as a player," the head coach said on Ziyech. "At Chelsea there are always good players that aren't in the starting XI. [I am] Delighted for him to get the game time and help [Morocco]. I kept in touch with him throughout the World Cup."
