Former Chelsea star suffers latest career setback as Romanian side snub Champions League winner over wage demands and claim winger plays with 'FEAR' due to injury concerns

Former Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has failed in his latest bid to reinvigorate his career after being snubbed by Romanian side CFR Cluj.

Ziyech signed for the Blues back in 2020, joining the Premier League side in a £37.8m move from Dutch giants Ajax.

It followed the winger being a key player in the Ajax side which reached the Champions League semi-finals in the 2018-19 campaign, as well as securing a domestic double.

The Moroccan made 107 appearances for Chelsea between 2020 to 2023, scoring 14 goals and providing 13 assists.
