Galatasaray have completed the signing of Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech on a free transfer.

The Blues spent £34m to sign the Moroccan from Ajax in 2020, but despite winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup with the London club, he struggled to fit into the changing nature of the Chelsea team.

In August 2023, Ziyech joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan, with the potential to turn the move into a permanent one.

The Turkish side have followed through on that opportunity, with Ziyech becoming their first summer signing for free despite him having a year remaining on his Chelsea contract.
