Atletico Madrid 'want to sign Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea this summer'

Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The Morocco international was bought from Ajax in a £33.3m deal last year and initially made a positive start to his Stamford Bridge career.

However, the winger's progress has stalled since Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard in January and he has started just two games under the German coach.

Ziyech is said to be considering his Chelsea future and, according to Fichajes, Atletico are prepared to offer him a route out of London.

It it is claimed that the Spanish side are expected to wave goodbye to Vitolo at the end of the campaign and see Ziyech as a positive upgrade.

Ziyech, who penned a five-year deal with Chelsea upon his arrival, scored 48 goals and registered 82 assists in 165 appearances for Ajax between 2016 and 2020.
