Hakim Ziyech looks destined to stay at Chelsea this summer after failing his second medical in a matter of weeks, according to reports.

Ziyech is one of a handful of players surplus to requirements at Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino.

The Morocco international originally looked set to join Saudi Arabia outfit Al Nassr earlier this summer.

But the £17million deal fell through after Ziyech reportedly failed his medical with Al Nassr modifying their offer for the winger on vastly reduced wages.

Ziyech was able to put the disappointment of his failed Saudi move behind him shortly as Turkish side Galatasaray reached an agreement with Chelsea.

However, that move has also fallen through with Dutch media reporting Ziyech had once again failed his medical.

Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech was seen at a party in Moscow over the weekend with former Ajax team-mate Quincy Promes, who was recently charged with allegedly smuggling £65million worth of cocaine into the Netherlands.

According to The Guardian, Ziyech jetted out to the Russian capital to attend a party organised by betting company Winline, despite the country’s ongoing war with Ukraine.

The Chelsea winger, who looks set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, posed alongside Promes at the event in a photo shared on his old colleague’s Instagram story.

It comes just one week after Dutch prosecutors announced that Promes has been charged over allegedly smuggling 1,370 kilograms of cocaine into the country.

The 31-year-old is said to have helped import two cocaine batches of around 650kg and 713kg, both of which were intercepted in Antwerp in January 2020, as reported by the Dutch newspaper NOS.

The forward, who has spent the last two years in Russia with Spartak Moscow, is also facing a charge of aggravated assault after he was accused of injuring a cousin in the knee with a knife.

As a result, Ziyech’s appearance at the event with his former team-mate amid his impending charges has sparked controversy on social media.

A number of Ukraine fans have also taken to Twitter to blast the Morocco international for heading to Russia despite the country’s invasion of their country last year.

Ziyech and Promes played together for one season at Ajax before the former sealed a move to Chelsea in the summer of 2020.
