Hakim Ziyech is about to pay the price for the big overload at Chelsea. Will the London club find common ground with PSG?
Hakim Ziyech hasn’t fulfilled his potential at Chelsea and may not even get the chance to do so when he could head to PSG, who could definitely use such a skilful winger. Will the two teams, who will soon face the opening game of the Champions League play-offs, find common ground?

Chelsea have certainly not held back in this transfer window and have brought in a number of new signings, which has created a lot of pressure in many positions in coach Graham Potter’s squad, and this is 100% true of wingers as well.
Ziyech, who hasn’t played much this season, should be the one to pay the price. Overall, he’s hit 15 games in a Blues jersey, but it’s mostly only been for a few minutes.
Because of that, he hasn’t scored a single goal and his first assist came on January 15, when he scored the only goal for Crystal Palace, which meant three points.
However, it was a different story for Morocco at the World Cup in Qatar, where he and his teammates reached the semi-finals, where the African side fell to France and Croatia in the battle for third place, with Ziyech himself contributing a goal and an assist to this historic achievement.
The player himself, according to Fabrizio Romano, is interested in the transfer as he logically sees many more chances to play more regularly at PSG than at Chelsea.
Moreover, the Premier League didn’t suit the Moroccan winger very well, as he scored 6 goals and assisted 7 in 56 games. Thus, Ligue 1 could be a different cup of coffee for the skilful left-back.
However, both clubs need to find common ground as the Blues would surely like to lose at least one player, while PSG could use a winger without any doubt!
