Chelsea have confirmed the departure of Hakim Ziyech on a permanent basis to Galatasaray this summer.
The Morocco international joined the Istanbul giants on a season-long loan last summer with an option to buy.
He had a mixed campaign with injuries, contributing only eight goals and four assists from 23 appearances.
Despite this, Galatasaray have decided to purchase him and the Blues have now officially confirmed it.
A statement on the club's website read: "Hakim Ziyech has completed a permanent transfer to Galatasaray."
"We thank Hakim for his efforts during his time at Chelsea and wish him well as he begins the next chapter of his career."
Ziyech joined the Blues with a huge reputation after his time at Ajax, but he failed to live up to the expectations.
The same was the case with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz. All three players have now moved elsewhere.
Chelsea will be pleased with Ziyech's exit as they have recouped additional funds to balance their financial books.
