Moroccan midfielder Hakim Ziyech was in line for a loan move from English giants Chelsea to French champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, the motion failed in the final hours of the Deadline Day on Tuesday after a paperwork mistake from The Blues. The Parisians are looking to appeal against the failed move with no designated timeline, as they feel that the London-based club had submitted the proper paperwork just about time to get the job done, reports ESPN. As per The Athletic, Chelsea failed to submit the documents on time for the transfer to be processed, while a PSG source termed the entire incident a "Class A circus".

Ziyech had already arrived in Paris to complete the move, as he underwent medical ahead of the transfer, while PSG waited for Chelsea to file the paperwork. The Moroccan joined The Blues in 2020 from Dutch champion Ajax for £35 million, having scored 14 goals in 98 matches across tournaments for the club.

However, of late, Ziyech has yet to fit into Graham Potter's model, having registered just four starts in the ongoing English Premier League (EPL). He was involved in six short-time substitutions and has failed to score a single goal in his 15 outings with Chelsea across competitions this season, while he only has an assist so far.
