Transfer Window: Graham Potter allows Chelsea winger join PSG

  Chelsea boss, Graham Potter has allowed Hakim Ziyech to join Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain. The Moroccan has agreed a move to leave Chelsea and is set to sign for the French champions. Ziyech has spent three underwhelming seasons at Chelsea following a £33m move from Ajax in 2020 but many thought his performance at the 2022 World Cup would have been a turn around. The 29-year-old has failed to impress successive Chelsea managers. With the arrival of Joah Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk at Stamford Bridge this January, the Moroccan game-time will only suffer more.

Chelsea and PSG are optimistic of reaching an agreement, with the Blues keen on raising some funds following a heavy period of spending under Todd Boehly.
