Hakim Ziyech in Paris to seal PSG loan after Chelsea star snubbed transfer offers from Newcastle and Everton
HAKIM ZIYECH is having a medical in France to complete a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain – after snubbing two Premier League clubs.
Chelsea were determined to ship out the Moroccan winger to free up space in their squad following their January splurge.

Ziyech, 29, has dropped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge with the arrivals of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix and Noni Madueke.
Now Foot Mercato report talks are nearing completion regarding a loan deal for Ziyech to head to PSG for the remainder of the season as he undergoes his health checks.
Newcastle and Everton both tried to land the World Cup star while Roma have also shown interest.
But Ziyech rejected the English advances and is keen on a switch to the Parc des Princes instead where he will play alongside Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
The former Ajax man has reportedly even been speaking to PSG stars about his imminent arrival.
Ziyech will be able to team up with close pal and international team-mate Achraf Hakimi in Paris.
PSG were keen to bring in a new winger during the January transfer window to bolster their front line after Pablo Sarabia left for Wolves.
Swoops for Rayan Cherki, Malcom and Johan Bakayoko all failed as the club were restricted financially so opted to try and secure a loan move.

The Ziyech deal is not expected to include an option to make the switch permanent in the summer.
Reports add he has already travelled to the French capital to complete negotiations and a medical to get it over the line before the window shuts.
Ziyech may not be the only major departure from Chelsea on deadline day with Jorginho’s move to Arsenal still on the cards and Conor Gallagher wanted by Everton.
The Blues submitted a £115m bid for Enzo Fernandez on Monday night and remain hopeful of securing a British transfer record for the Argentine World Cup winner.
