However, the chances of Chelsea exercising that option are becoming slim, with the 2021 Champions League winners ready to part ways with him.

It is believed that Zakaria was sign to fill in for Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was offloaded to the Bundesliga on loan.

But with the midfielder yet to play a single minute in a blue shirt, all indications show that he has no future with the Premier League giants.

The Swiss star is also yet to make a single Premier League matchday squad, and has youngster Carney Chukwuemeka ahead of him in the pecking order.
