Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has been told to leave the club in the summer transfer window. The Moroccan has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge this season and is expected to move on at the end of the season.
Ziyech, 30, has made only 102 appearances since completing a £33.3million move from Ajax in 2020. The forward has contributed to only 25 goals across three seasons and has constantly been linked with a move away.
In January, a deadline day move to Paris Saint-Germain collapsed after the contracts for the deal were submitted too late. Frustrations boiled over from the French side, who claimed that Chelsea were too focused on the deal to sign Enzo Fernandez.

Many had hoped Ziyech would continue his World Cup form in the second half of the season, but the former Ajax man has failed to become a regular at Stamford Bridge. Ziyech played a starring role in the Atlas Lions' run to the semi-finals in Qatar as they surpassed Spain and Portugal.
Ziyech has not featured since the 2-0 defeat to London rivals Tottenham at the end of February. With his time in England seemingly coming to an end, he has been urged to leave Chelsea at the end of the season by ex-Blues defender Frank Leboeuf.
When asked which players should look to leave in the summer, Lebouef told ESPN: "Well, definitely Ziyech. The guy is not happy, and he wants to work. Every time he plays for Morocco, he's the best player in the world, and every time he plays for Chelsea, he feels sad and lost.
"So I wish him to go somewhere else where he can show to the world he's still the Ziyech that we have seen when he played for Ajax."
