  • Chelsea look set to offload Hakim Ziyech this summer, with the club ready to sell the Moroccan winger
  • Reports suggest the Blues are ready to count their losses and cut ties with Ziyech - barely two years after he joined them from Ajax
  • Manchester United have been urged to make a move for the 29-year-old in a move that could see him reunite with Erik ten Hag

Chelsea are reportedly open to listening to offers for Hakim Ziyech ahead of the summer transfer window.

Ziyech has been struggling for form this term, further compounding his not-so-successful spell at Stamford Bridge since his arrival in 2020 from Ajax.

The star winger has been limited to just 23 Premier League appearances during the just-concluded season.

Metro UK reports the Blues are willing to part ways with the Moroccan, with the club's incoming new owners keen to launch a new era at Stamford Bridge.

According to the publication, Ziyech's potential departure could leave Thomas Tuchel short of attacking options even as the German tactician prepares to build a strong team that can fight for titles.

However, according to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea chiefs are willing to count their losses and cut ties with Ziyech.

Man United urged to sign Hakim Ziyech

The development comes just days after Man United were advised to consider making a summer move for Ziyech.

According to Dutch legend, Marco van Basten, Ziyech would make a big impact at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag.

The Moroccan worked under incoming United boss, Erik ten Hag, during their time together at Ajax.

It now remains to be seen if Chelsea would allow the 29-year-old to move to a Premier League rival.

Chelsea enter race to sign Robert Lewandowski

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Chelsea could reportedly make a summer transfer move for Bayern Munich hitman Robert Lewandowski.

The Blues are in the market for a prolific striker following Romelu Lukaku's struggles in front of goal after his return to Stamford Bridge.

Lewandowski, who has just a year left on his current deal with Bayern is said to have been identified to boost Tuchel's firepower in attack.
