Tammy Abraham and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang praised Tottenham Hotspur transfer target and Chelsea attacker, Hakim Ziyech, on Instagram after he guided Morocco to a shock World Cup semi-final.
Prior to a ball being kicked in Qatar, the Chelsea winger was struggling at Stamford Bridge with zero goals and assists to his name this season.
But Chelsea fans must be wondering where this Ziyech in the Middle East has been because he has been one of the tournament’s best players.
On Saturday, they created the greatest moment in their nation’s history when they beat Portugal 1-0 to progress into the last four of the World Cup.
It’s a monumental time and moment for the Arab world and also those on their continent because Morocco are the first African team through to the last four of a major tournament.
Ziyech was delighted with that win, as he expressed on IG, with Roma striker Tammy Abraham sending a message in the comments section that simply read ‘serious’, whilst Ben Chilwell added: ‘Brilliant, bro. Happy for you’.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also posted a two-word message that read ‘damn good’, whilst Steven Bergwijn posted fire emojis to the player.
ZIYECH’S FUTURE AT CHELSEA
There was talk before Ziyech headed out to Qatar that he could be leaving Chelsea, well, his performances on football’s biggest stage will only increase that talk now., especially with the January transfer window around the corner.
It will be interesting to see what Chelsea do with him because the likes of Tottenham are keen to take him on board.
Given that he has struggled since Frank Lampard brought him to the Bridge, and there doesn’t seem to be much change now Graham Potter is in charge, do they just pounce on the hype around him now because they could get a decent amount of money for him?
