  • Paris Saint-Germain are still furious with Chelsea over their failed attempt to sign Moroccan winger Kaim Ziyech from the Blues
  • Ziyech was set to join the Ligue 1 champions on loan after the deal with PSG fell through due to late filing of paperwork from Chelsea
  • Ziyech has remained with Chelsea and started the club’s Premier League game just three days after the collapse of his exit

Paris Saint-Germain is still pained about missing out on landing Hakim Ziyech in the January transfer window after agreeing a deal with the Blues for the Moroccan winger.

The Ligue 1 champions has accused Chelsea of failing to complete what should have been a simple procedure after failing to bolster their attack with the addition of the winger.

"We had the player with us, we had done everything. But as with all transfers, you need all three parties to work well.
"In this case it worked very well for Paris Saint-Germain, it also worked well with Ziyech. Unfortunately, it didn’t work well for the last party."

Ziyech was in the French capital waiting for his loan transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, however, the move wouldn’t materialize as the paperwork to finalize the deal was a few minutes late.

Keeping Ziyech not a wise decision

Meanwhile, Football pundit Scott Minto has described Hakim Ziyech’s failed transfer from Chelsea to Paris Saint-Germain as disgraceful after the winger’s deal collapsed on deadline day, PSG Talk reports.

Minto stated that Chelsea should have ensured Ziyech’s loan move should have happened as it is not a wise decision to keep an unhappy player in the team.

PSG had attempted to appeal the loan transfer of Ziyech after Chelsea submitted late paperwork for the deal but were denied.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Hakim Ziyech and Paris Saint-Germain will be seething with anger after a deadline-day move for the winger collapsed.

Ziyech was all set to swap London for Paris with an initial loan deal until the end of the season, but the move crumbled at the last minute due to a 'paperwork' error.

It is now being reported that PSG blame Chelsea for the failed move and intend to file a complaint to be allowed to finish the transfer after the deadline.
