'It's hard to say'-Chelsea winger Ziyech does not rule out leaving the team in the winter window


Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech, who is currently playing for Chelsea, has not yet ruled out the possibility of leaving the team in the winter window.


"It's hard to say, hard to say," Ziyech told NOS. He is currently starting in Morocco's 0-0 draw with Croatia in the first round of the World Cup group stage.


"We have no way of knowing what will happen in winter. This is football, so it is very difficult to say." When asked after the game whether it is possible to return to the Eredivisie in January 2023, Ziyech replied.


In July 2020, Ziyech joined Chelsea from Ajax at a high price of 40 million euros, with a contract period of 5 years. However, Ziyech's development at Stamford Bridge is not satisfactory — in the past two years, the Moroccan has played only 92 times in total, including 9 games this season. The last time he started a game for the Blues was on August 30 this year, when the team lost 1-2 to Southampton.


It is understood that there are 3 clubs interested in introducing Ziyech, they are AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Ajax. Among them, Ajax has a deep relationship with the Moroccan: Ziyech played for Ajax from 2016 to 2020, played a total of 165 times, scored 49 goals, sent 81 assists, and won 1 Eredivisie champions, 1 Dutch Cup and 1 Dutch Super Cup with the team.
