Hakim Ziyech‘s move to Galatasaray hasn’t been as fruitful as everyone had anticipated. His game time has reduced drastically, which is a matter of concern. The player is reportedly unhappy about his current situation and might terminate his contract.

Ziyech has played only 320 minutes in this season so far, distributed across 11 games. In these many outings, he hasn’t been able to find the back of the net and has only one assist to his name.
The Morrocon attacker is versatile to be deployed in different positions in the attacking front. He has got great control over the ball and is a threat while taking set-pieces. With accurate passing and long-range shooting abilities, he is a treat to watch.
West Ham United are lacking a bit of firepower in their attacking front and they are looking ways to fix that. Hence, the interest in Hakim Ziyech has generated as the player is reportedly keen on returning to the Premier Leauge if he formulate a way to terminate contract with Galatasaray.
On the other hand, even the Turkish side is willing to let the player go as he is unhappy with the club. While the contract termination isn’t a simple route, both parties might resort to it to fix the current situation.
If that happens, the Hammers can take advantage of the situation. They can bring Ziyech on a free transfer, who can prove to be a valuable name in the final third. Given his prior English league experience, the player will need less time to adapt.
