Chelsea winger told to leave for Barcelona

Former Chelsea player and coach Ruud Gullit has sent a message to Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech to leave the club and move to Spanish side Barcelona.

According to Gullit, Ziyech would be the perfect signing for the Catalans, who have struggled to get a regular spot in the Blues’ lineup since his £34 million move from Dutch side Ajax in 2020, where he has won three trophies including the Champions League and Club World Cup.

So far this season, Ziyech has started just five matches across all competitions for the Blues under Graham Potter.

With the arrival of Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk, there are speculations the Moroccan would fall further down the pecking order.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport, Gullit feels the winger should leave for Barcelona.

“The way Ziyech plays for Morocco, I’ve never seen him play for Chelsea.

“I wonder… I think he comes into his own in Spain. I have the impression that he has never reached the level of Ajax in England. I would really like to see him in Spain in the future. He can reach his top level there. He would also fit well in that Barcelona team.”
