Chelsea to Set to Lose Talented out Of Favor Winger Hakim Ziyech in January

• Serie A giants AC Milan are reportedly ready to reignite their interest in Hakim Ziyech
• Ziyech has fallen out of favour at Chelsea and nearly left the club in the summer
• The 2021/22 Serie A winners have for a long time been interested in Ziyech

Hakim Ziyech is almost certain to leave Chelsea in January, with AC Milan his most likely destination according to fresh reports.

New Chelsea boss Graham Potter will not stand in the way of Ziyech’s exit in the event a club expresses interest in the Moroccan in January.

Since coming to Stamford Bridge in September, Potter has overlooked Ziyech for a start in all of his four matches in charge of the Blues so far.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Milan boss Stefano Pioli remains highly interested in Ziyech after the failure to acquire him in the summer.

The initial attempts to sign him were hampered by the fact that Chelsea wanted a fee in the region of £33million for Ziyech, which is almost the same amount they purchased him for from Ajax in 2020.

Interestingly, Ajax also failed a late bid for Ziyech in August.

The Sun also reports that Manchester United attempted to take up the winger’s services but a move was blocked by Chelsea, leaving Ziyech in limbo over his future.

Under Graham Potter, Ziyech has made just two appearances, both from the bench.

Chelsea are finely poised to sign Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig, a move that will certainly pave way for Ziyech’s exit.
