[Curiosities] Chelsea Coach: Ziyech Is ‘Important’ for Us For the Rest of Season

[BirSaNN]

PSG expressed disappointment after failing to secure Ziyech on loan from Chelsea due to paperwork issues.

Rabat - Chelsea’s coach Graham Potter responded to criticism targeting the English club following the collapse of Morocco’s Hakim Ziyech's transfer to Paris Saint Germain (PSG).

On Thursday, Potter announced that Ziyech has returned to training.

Ziyech will also be playing with Chelsea against Fulham, today at 9 p.m. Moroccan time.

Commenting on Ziyech’s failed transfer to PSG, Potter said that Ziyech is a “professional player and understands the situation.”

“He’s committed to us and available for the squad against Fulham. He will be an important player for us for the rest of the season,” he said.

Ziyech fans and supporters expressed frustration after Chelsea failed to submit the correct paperwork to PSG to complete his transfer to the French club.

Chelsea submitted incorrect paperwork for Zieych’s transfer to PSG three times on January 31, which marked the deadline for the January transfer window.

PSG received the correct version of the documents after midnight in Paris.

The French club appealed the situation to Ligue de Professional, the French body that runs the major professional football leagues in France.

However, LFP rejected PSG’s request.

PSG’s coach commented on the situation describing it as “unfortunate.”

“We wanted to replace Pablo Sarabia with a player who can play on the right side. Unfortunately, that did not happen. But it’s the transfer window,” he said, stressing that the issue was not PSG’s fault
