CHELSEA flop Hakim Ziyech has found himself a new club in Brazil, following a difficult few years.
Ziyech has just left Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca as a free agent, and played for Al-Duhail SC in Qatar and Galatasaray before that.

Former Manchester United star Alex Telles and ex-Everton midfielder Allan both currently play for Botafogo.
Ziyech joined Chelsea in 2020 after establishing himself as one of the best right-wingers in the world at Ajax.

He never really managed to get going during his time in London, but did win the Champions League with the club in 2021.
The 33-year-old only lasted a year with Wydad, but was well received in his home country where he is widely regarded as one of their best players of all time.
Despite it being only a brief stint, Ziyech did manage nine goals in 16 games.
Botafogo could definitely use some of the Moroccan’s quality, with the team currently 13th in the league.

The transfer was delayed after Ziyech reportedly expressed concerns over the quality of football pitches in Brazil.
This could well be the final chapter in what has been an illustrious and varied career for the winger.
