Despite showing that he can be of use to Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, Hakim Ziyech continues to be linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
The Netherlands-born Morocco international scored eight goals and picked up six assists in 44 appearances last season, and despite being able to play almost everywhere in attack and on the wings, he’s seen as surplus to requirements, according to reports.
Gazzetta dello Sport pick up on those on Monday, linking the Chelsea player with a move to Milan; a club often seen as an ideal destination for him.
This is once again brought up by the Italian newspaper, who explain the Serie A side are looking to bolster their options in attack, with Hakim Ziyech, Paulo Dybala and Nicolo Zaniolo all potential targets.
It’s made clear the Chelsea forward and the free-agent ‘are more affordable’ than the AS Roma star, and the Blues man ‘has an advantage’, which is that the Stamford Bridge side ‘want to sell him’.
That means that ‘if a balance is found on the wages, Milan can loan him with an option to buy’.
Furthermore, ‘he would be perfect’ with Stefano Pioli’s tactical plans ahead of a season in the Champions League; a competition Ziyech is well versed in thanks to his time at both Ajax and Chelsea.
