Edmond Eletu reporting.
The much-talked-about Hakim Ziyech’s loan move to Paris Saint-Germain from Chelsea has collapsed with Ligue 1 unwilling to ratify the transfer following the late submission of documents.
Skysports reports that PSG lodged an appeal to the Professional Football League (LFP)’s legal committee, alleging that the Stamford Bridge side had initially sent through the incorrect paperwork after the terms of an agreement had been finalised.
When it was flagged, they claim Chelsea sent the right documents twice but without a signature. When the correct version was received, the deadline had already passed.
According to skysports news report monitored by Truth live news, The LFP met at 10:30 am local time on Wednesday morning to study the paperwork and discuss the case. They decided against signing the loan move off.
PSGÂ are said to be angered by the administrative gaffes which affected their outgoings, like Ismael Gharbi’s temporary switch to Nice.
Ziyech had passed his medical and was waiting in Paris on Tuesday to be unveiled.
Ziyech who at this moment is stranded in Paris will be left with no option but to return to London and fight for a space in Graham Potter’s side which already has 33 players and the gaffer is expected to receive the Moroccan world cup hero back into his fold with open hands and give him equal opportunity to fight for a space in his first team for the next four months.
