With Hakim Ziyech shining with Morocco at the World Cup, Chelsea and their manager Graham Potter could be wondering whether or not letting him go in January is a wise idea.

The winger has been a target for Milan for quite some time now, although a deal has never been struck due to, mostly, the cost needed.

Ziyech is on a lot of money at Chelsea, but that appears to no longer be something they are worried about, at least if journalist Ciro Venerato is to be believed.

According to him, talking to 1Station Radio and relayed by Sport e Vai, a deal between the Blues and their Italian counterparts should take place sooner rather than later.

He admits that while Milan have been following the likes of Noah Okafor, the Chelsea man remains top of their list.

Venerato said: “The Rossoneri are afraid of losing Leao, but in January, we will need to understand what to do with Charles De Ketelaere and whether we continue to trust him. However, the Ziyech deal with Chelsea will 99% go through.”

It seems the journalist is very confident here, and we’ll have to wait and see if his information about Chelsea and their forward is true.
