Dutch great Ruud Gullit has urged Hakim Ziyech to leave Chelsea.

Gullit is convinced after his superb World Cup with Morocco that Ziyech would walk into Barcelona's starting XI.

He told Ziggo Sport, "The way Ziyech plays for Morocco, I have never seen him play for Chelsea.

"It's not just him. I think Chelsea have sometimes put him in positions that don't suit him. He only needs to play on the right wing.

"I wonder. I think he would come into his own in Spain. I have the impression that in England he never reached the level he had in Ajax. I would like to see him in Spain. He can reach the top. He would also fit well in Barcelona's team."
