Hakim Ziyech is closer than ever to becoming an AC Milan player, according to Todo Fichajes.

Ziyech signed for Chelsea from Ajax last summer, with his debut campaign with the Blues being a mixed bag.

He finished the season as a European champion, so he’d no doubt deem it a success, but there’s suggestions that he could be set to move along after just one season with the Blues.

Todo Fichajes report that Ziyech is closing in on a move to AC Milan, following talks between the Rossoneri and Chelsea.

That would see Chelsea record a loss of almost £8M on a player on a player they signed merely a year ago, based on the £33.3M fee Sky Sports reported in 2020.

This one ought to be taken with a pinch salt until any more reputable outlet reports the same or similar information…
