Hakim Ziyech’s brother has dropped a major transfer hint regarding his Chelsea future amid talks with his former club Ajax.
The 29-year-old is yet to make a start for the Blues this season, as they have begun the Premier League season with a win, a draw and a loss.
The latest came at Elland Road on Sunday, with Chelsea falling to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat.

Ziyech featured from the bench but it was too late for the Moroccan to make an impact, with the highlight of his cameo coming as he took a volley on the edge of the box, just for Kai Havertz to block the shot in an offside position.

With a lack of game time last season, as Thomas Tuchel explained he did not suit Chelsea’s system, Ziyech could look for an exit this summer.
The winger was heavily linked with a transfer to AC Milan during the window, but the Italian club have pulled out of negotiations in recent weeks.

Timo Werner secured his exit, returning to RB Leipzig, while Romelu Lukaku also returned to a former club as he sealed a season-long loan to Inter Milan.
Ziyech could now secure his move away from the club, potentially making it a hat-trick of transfers back to the teams Chelsea signed them from as the Moroccan is linked with a return to Ajax.
Taking to Instagram, Ziyech’s brother has now dropped a huge hint regarding a move to the Amsterdam club.

Posting on the account ‘ziyecha0321’, his brother posted a photo of the Moroccan in action for Ajax, with no context or caption.
This comes after the Chelsea forward took a flight from Leeds to Amsterdam immediately after the Blues’ loss on Sunday.
It was further reported that a meeting will take place between the player and Ajax in Amsterdam ‘very soon’.
It remains to be seen as to whether Ziyech will remain at Chelsea beyond the summer or complete his return to the Eredivisie.

The Moroccan has retired from international duty, so will not be looking for minutes ahead of the World Cup but with a lack of game time under Tuchel, he could look to return to Ajax, where he spent the majority of his career, proving to be a success in the Netherlands.
Ziyech could be followed out of the door by fellow wingers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic, who are also lacking in minutes.
The pair will still hold World Cup dreams, with Pulisic set to turn out for the USMNT, while Hudson-Odoi could represent either England or Ghana.

If the trio are to depart, Tuchel will no doubt dip into the market to seek replacements.
