'Fake news' – Chelsea player’s agent shuts down January rumour

One Chelsea player’s agent has shut down the latest January noise surrounding his client and sets the record straight.

According to Turkish outlet NTV Spor, Galatasaray are looking to end Ziyech’s loan deal in January. The 30-year-old has endured an “ineffective” spell in the Super Lig since he moved on loan to Istanbul from Stamford Bridge in the summer.

But apparently someone has made up some fake quotes about it by Ziyech’s agent.

As cited by Goal, Ziyech’s representative George Gardi was alleged to have said in a statement: “Hakim Ziyech’s Galatasaray adventure started well, but it did not continue well. We conveyed to Galatasaray that we wanted to leave. Galatasaray will not cause us any difficulties.”

However, Gardi set the record straight on his Instagram story, labelling the statement “fake news”.

“I never made ay statement on Ziyech and I don’t know this person who wrote using my name,” he wrote.

so there you have it, that clears that one up at least. But it still doesn’t make anything clear as to whether Ziyech will be staying at Galatasaray or having to return to Chelsea this month! Let’s hope it’s the aforementioned.
