Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed to GiveMeSport that Chelsea are still happy to sell Hakim Ziyech in January.
The 29-year-old has been enjoying his football likely for the first time in a while during the World Cup in Qatar.
His return to the Morocco team has seen him provide some brilliant performances. He was the catalyst to his country shocking everyone by topping their group containing both Croatia and Belgium.
His long-range goal got the ball rolling in their final group victory against Canada, while he was in the assists against Romelu Lukaku’s Belgium side too.
Despite the strong showings, Phillips has claimed that the Blues are still happy to listen to offers that will allow him to leave Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea still happy to sell Ziyech
He said: “With Ziyech, he’s wanted to leave for a while, since the summer, since Tuchel was there. So, that’s the big difference with the other players we’ve been speaking about.
“Ziyech has got a desire to actively leave Chelsea as soon as possible. So, Chelsea will be happy to listen to offers for him in January.”
The Moroccan may have been one of the happier players in the squad that a new manager came in to Stamford Bridge, with opportunities limited in recent months under Thomas Tuchel.
However, he has been afforded just one start since Graham Potter joined the club, with that coming in the League Cup defeat to Manchester City.
He has struggled to show what he can do when he has been handed rare opportunities since his move to England, with his style of play looking far more suited to another league.
An impressive World Cup could see him given a last chance scenario at Stamford Bridge, with Christian Pulisic in a similar situation after his positive showings.
