Hakim Ziyech set to join Botafogo

Former Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech is set to move to Brazilian football after cancelling his contract with Wydad AC.

The Moroccan has played in three different countries since leaving Chelsea, playing with Galatasaray in Turkey, Al-Duhail in Qatar, and finally with WAC who he has now departed. Ziyech featured 16 times during his brief stint with the Casablanca-based side, scoring nine times.

Next up for Ziyech is a move to Brazilian side Botafogo with the 33-year-old expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro this week before penning a contract with the club until the end of the 2028 season.

Botafogo could certainly use some of Ziyech's creativity with the team currently 13th in the Série A.
