Hakim Ziyech has become the latest Chelsea star to make the switch to Saudi Arabia, as Al Nassr have finalised a deal worth £20m for the Moroccan.

Chelsea have been selling their players to Saudi Arabian sides left right and centre this summer and now Hakim Ziyech will join former teammates N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly in transferring to Asia.

Ziyech will sign for Al Nassr in a deal worth around £20m, with his contract expiring in June 2026.

Fabrizio Romano broke the news on Monday afternoon, as he confirmed Ziyech would join up with his new teammates later this week – including Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ziyech only needs to complete a medical before his move to Al Nassr is confirmed, but both sides are confident the deal will get over the line in the coming days.

Having signed from Ajax in 2020 Ziyech struggled to ever really make his mark in the Premier League, which was evident again this season as the 30-year-old started just just six matches for Chelsea.

After yet another disappointing campaign at Stamford Bridge, Ziyech has decided to follow in the footsteps of so many Premier League stars this summer in signing to a Saudi Arabian club.

Former Chelsea teammate Edouard Mendy could also make the move to the desert this summer, as Mauricio Pochettino looks to clear the decks ahead of a fresh start for Chelsea next season.
