Hakim Ziyech has seen himself linked with a move to Manchester United over the weekend.
Hakim Ziyech signed for Chelsea in 2020, agreeing to move in February before eventually linking up with the club in July.
The Blues were believed to have paid £36m to land the Moroccan. At the time, that seemed like a great bit of business.
‘The Wizard’ had been one of Ajax’s standout stars for several years and had shown his talent against Chelsea in a Champions League group stage tie, providing three assists in an enthralling 4-4 draw.
However, since his move to England, Ziyech has struggled for form on a consistent basis.
And with the arrival of Raheem Sterling and Chelsea’s apparent eagerness to strength on the right flank – they were heavily linked with Raphinha before he chose Barcelona – it seems obvious that Ziyech has not real future under Thomas Tuchel at the Bridge.
Now, as mentioned above, Ziyech has been linked with a move to Manchester United.
According to transfer journalist Dean Jones, speaking to GiveMeSport, Manchester United could make a move for Ziyech this summer.
“The Ziyech move to AC Milan has stuttered a little and if that situation drags on let’s not rule out the idea that Ten Hag looks to take him to United instead,” said Jones.
Ziyech was one of Ten Hag’s standout stars at Ajax before his switch to Chelsea and as Man United don’t have too many wide options at present, signing someone of Ziyech’s quality could be smart business from United.
Of course, there is a risk Ziyech continues to be inconsistent in the Premier League, but if anyone can get him performing well, it is likely to be Ten Hag.
