'Those two will go': Chelsea are definitely going to sell two players this summer, it's decided - journalist
Journalist Simon Phillips has told GiveMeSport that Chelsea are definitely going to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Hakim Ziyech at the end of the season.
The duo have struggled for minutes this season, with them notably both not playing at all in the club’s recent three game winning run.
There were rumours that both could’ve left the club in recent months too. Ziyech was all set to leave on loan on deadline day before a paperwork error left him stranded in the final hours of the window.
With Aubameyang not allowed to feature for another club this season, the upcoming new MLS campaign offered him an option to leave, with champions LAFC reportedly interested in a deal.
However, the former Arsenal and Barcelona man opted to stay and fight for his spot at Stamford Bridge.
This is despite a lack of opportunities handed to him by manager Graham Potter. The signing instead looked tailor made for former manager Thomas Tuchel.
Ziyech and Aubameyang to leave
This could lean into Phillips’ claims that the 33-year-old will be sold in the summer, with Ziyech also likely to leave.
He said: “Aubameyang will certainly leave, I’m pretty sure about that, along with Hakim Ziyech, who was close to joining PSG in the January window. Those two will go, that’s two sets of big wages off.”
Despite nearly leaving in January, Ziyech was handed a number of opportunities to impress at Stamford Bridge as he accepted his fate was that he would be staying for the remainder of the season.
However, the Moroccan failed to impress in that time, which could be behind why he is nowhere to be seen at this time.
It’s fair to say that neither loss will be a particularly big one for Chelsea fans at this stage.
