Hakim Ziyech in 'advanced talks' over move to European giants

Hakim Ziyech in 'advanced talks' over move to European giants

Chelsea have done a lot of spending this January but now one of their players is set to leave Stamford Bridge in the transfer window.

Hakim Ziyech is set to leave Chelsea before the end of the transfer window, after the Blues have spent heavily to improve their side this month.

The incredible spending at Stamford Bridge in January has led fans of rival clubs to ask how in the world they can spend all that money and not be foul of Financial Fair Play rules.

Those who have started a petition about the Blues will be even more annoyed if, as expected, they complete a British record fee for Enzo Fernandez.

They don't have long to do it, but the Benfica midfielder does look on the verge of a £105 million move to Chelsea, just six months after joining the Portuguese side for €10 million.

Already, Graham Potter has brought in seven players this month, including several players in forward positions, such as Mikhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Joao Felix, the latter on loan.

It's understandable considering the lack of goals from the west London club but it means they now have an abundance of forwards so have to get rid of at least one.

According to French outlet L'Equipe, that looks set to be Ziyech, with the Moroccan said to be in 'advanced talks' over a move to PSG.

The Ligue 1 leaders seem to have beaten AC Milan and Roma to the signing of the former Ajax man, who is expected to move on loan until the end of the season initially.

The 29-year-old impressed for his national side during the World Cup, after being reintroduced into the team thanks to a change of manager.

He played in every game as they made an amazing run to the semi-finals, including in the third place play-off, in a side that surprised the likes of Spain and Portugal.

However, he has rarely been able to get into the starting line up for Potter, only being in the initial XI on four occasions in the league in the current campaign.

Earlier in the season, teammate Reece James was not impressed with the forward after his dreadful late free kick miss in the Champions League.

That was during the loss to Dinamo Zagreb, a defeat that saw the end of Thomas Tuchel's time at the club, as he was replaced by Potter.

It's unlikely he's going to get the chance to take a free kick with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar around, now he's moving to Paris.
