It has taken a while but Thomas Tuchel appears to be warming to Hakim Ziyech.
In the thick of the action again, the Moroccan was quickly becoming Chelsea’s go-to guy before injury struck against Lille on Tuesday night.
His eighth minute corner was on the money, Kai Havertz couldn’t miss. It was a telling contribution to add to a growing list of telling contributions for the forward.
And to think Ziyech looked to be on his way out of Stamford Bridge in January.
Disillusioned and dispirited, the Moroccan was said to be open to leaving Chelsea in during the winter transfer window.
