Chelsea winger speaks on possible January departure

Chelsea winger, Hakim Ziyech in a recent has refused to rule out any possibility of leaving the EPL club in the January transfer window.

Ziyech has struggled to impress at Chelsea since joining them from Dutch side Ajax in 2020.

So far this season, the Morocco international has started just two matches for Chelsea before the 2022 FIFA World Cup break.

Owing to his desire to get more game time, the winger was linked with a move away from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, with the likes of Ajax, AC Milan, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur all reportedly interested in him.

However, when asked by NOS if he will leave Chelsea and return to the Eredivisie in the January window, Ziyech said after Morocco’s World Cup 0-0 draw with Croatia on Wednesday: “It is hard to say, difficult to say.

“We don’t know what will happen in the winter. It is football, so it is difficult to say.”
