Hakim Ziyech will not be able to play for Chelsea if the 2019/20 Premier League campaign spills over into the summer, despite proposals that could see top-flight clubs register 25-man squads.
The Moroccan winger is set to become a Chelsea player after sealing a £36m switch from Ajax back in February. And the Eredivisie season being scrapped as a result of the coronavirus pandemic means he has already played his last game for the Dutch club ahead of his move to Stamford Bridge.
Nevertheless, it is unclear when Ziyech will officially join Frank Lampard’s squad - with Premier League chiefs planning to resume 2019/20 matches at some point this summer.
