‘He Wants To Leave’ Report Claims ‘Worried’ Chelsea Star Will Demand Showdown Talks Over His Future

Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech is already weighing up leaving Stamford Bridge, according to the Corriere Dello Sport. The Italian newspaper have made the bold claim that “he wants to leave” the Blues despite only joining from Ajax in the summer.

Ziyech is reportedly “worried” about spending a season on the sidelines under manager Thomas Tuchel, who doesn’t see him as a regular first-team starter at the moment.

The lack of game time is expected to prompt the Morrocan international to ask for a meeting with director Marina Granovskaia to clarify his role at the club.

Ziyech did struggle in the 1-0 win over Barnsley in the FA Cup last week, and his limited minutes in the Premier League since Tuchel’s arrival last month has led to further speculation about his future.

Both Juventus and AC Milan have been mentioned as potential destinations in recent days, while the Corriere Dello Sport suggest Roma could be another option.
