Shocking, the Chelsea flop who continues living difficult days even outside the West London club

The player would be desperate to reflote his football career

Hakim Ziyech would be living hard days at Galatasaray after winning the Champions League with Chelsea.

A Chelsea flop would be living the hardest days in his career after leaving the West London team in the summer transfer market during the Premier League’s deadline, as he would not have convinced his new club to be in the team and he could be risking to get back to Chelsea, where Mauricio Pochettino wouldn’t even consider the player to be in his squad.

The player in question is the Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech, who joined the Blues in 2020 for €40 million after having shined in Ajax, where he was one of the best players of the team under Ten Hag’s management. Since his arrival to Chelsea, struggled to impose his quality and underperformed, although he certainly won the Champions League in 2021 and had some good periods at the West London team.

Substitute under the orders of Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, the native of Dronten was loaned to Galatasaray with a conditional purchase obligation, which now seems it wouldn’t be exercised by the Turkish side, where he has scored four goals and has given two assists in 14 appearances with the team.

His current fitness wouldn’t respond to his club’s expectations

In this sense, Galatasaray wouldn’t be convinced by the player’s current fitness, given that he experienced an injury which made him miss the match against Adana Demirspor on December 8 (3-1) and another which deprived him of the Supercup on December 29 (before the match is postponed), and only a good performance with Morocco in the next African Cup of Nations could lead him to attract the interest of the great European teams to continue his career at the high level.
