# Chelsea: Blues to ‘discuss’ bids for Hakim Ziyech

**[Chelsea](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/) winger [Hakim Ziyech](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/hakim-ziyech/) looks increasingly likely to leave the club in the January transfer window, following a new update regarding his future.**

### The Lowdown: Ziyech down the pecking order

The Moroccan has struggled to be a key part of Graham Potter’s plans this season, and Thomas Tuchel’s before him for that matter, only starting [four](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115868/Show/Hakim-Ziyech) [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) matches in total between the two managers.

Ziyech has also contributed just [one assist and no goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115868/Show/Hakim-Ziyech) in the league, in a total of ten appearances, with his performances flattering to deceive too often despite his impressive technical ability.

The 29-year-old’s current Chelsea deal doesn’t [run out](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hakim-ziyech/profil/spieler/217111) until 2025, but he could be on the move this month.

### The Latest: Exit update emerges

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1617390995418611718?s=20&t=aghX1dp0HPLcYY18eWS7Cw), journalist Fabrizio Romano says that the Blues would entertain offers for Ziyech, with plenty of clubs showing an interest:

> “Chelsea will discuss the bids for Hakim Ziyech, as expected – many clubs are keen on signing him in the final days of the transfer window.
>
> “Premier League and foreign clubs are exploring conditions of the deal.”

### The Verdict: Right time to sell

This feels like the right time for Chelsea to sell Ziyech, with the Morocco international still at an age where they can receive a good amount of money for his services, rather than losing him on the cheap further down the line.

The [£100,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/chelsea-fc/hakim-ziyech-48800/) winger feels expendable after the January arrivals of Joao Felix and Mykhaylo Mudryk, especially with Raheem Sterling also set to return from injury soon.

Ziyech’s Chelsea career has ultimately been a forgettable one, with the attacker possessing a sensational left foot – he was recently [called](https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/2022/11/hakim-ziyech-gets-praise-in-moroccos-win-over-belgium-in-the-world-cup-latest-news/) ‘incredible’ by Morocco manager Walid Regragui – but only [scoring 14 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hakim-ziyech/alletore/spieler/217111) in 98 appearances for Chelsea.

He increasingly feels like yesterday’s man, despite starting Liverpool on Saturday, and moving him on could free up funds for Potter to bring in a younger right-sided replacement.
