  • Chelsea star, Hakim Ziyech was heavily criticised for hanging out with Quincy Promes
  • Promes was reported to be under investigation for importing narcotics
  • Ziyech has broken his silence after the incident in a rather snappy message

Hakim Ziyech is giving off an ‘I don’t care’ attitude after he was spotted at a ceremony with embattled former Ajax teammate, Quincy Promes.

The Moroccan is no stranger to sending cryptic posts on his Instagram page. His Chelsea future appears to be decided and he will leave the club this summer.

He has mainly been a spectator in London since his January deadline day loan move to Paris Saint-Germain failed due to improper documents sent by the club.

Ziyech is on holiday after the season ended, and his choice of vacation mate has raised eyebrows. According to Marca, Promes was charged with drug trafficking in the Netherlands.

Ziyech breaks silence

The 29-year-old has made his first Instagram post since the controversy started brewing, and he appears to be unapologetic about spending time with Promes in Russia.

He uploaded a photo of himself with the caption 'A smile a day keeps the noise away'- appearing to call the comments about the trip 'noise' that doesn't bother him.

The post received 23 comments as of the time of this publication, including ones from Promes, Trevoh Chalobah, and Dutch starlet, Ian Maatsen.

The 31-year-old Spartak Moscow star Promes is no stranger to controversy. According to the Guardian, he was arrested in 2021 for stabbing his cousin at a family event and admitted to wanting to stab him to death in a wiretapped conversation.

Ziyech posts cryptic message

Sports Brief reported that Ziyech posted a cryptic message after an underwhelming season at Stamford Bridge in Todd Boehly’s first year as owner.

The former Ajax star was in the company of teammates Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wesley Fofana, and Denis Zakaria at a dinner in London, all of whom are expected to leave the club, except for the Frenchman.

He shared the photo on Instagram and captioned it ‘Too much turbulence’. Auba reshared the post, reiterating the same message.
