A deal for Hakim Ziyech to join Paris St Germain from Chelsea was blocked by French football’s governing body after documents were not filed in time, the PA news agency understands.

A loan between the clubs had been agreed before Tuesday’s deadline with the 29-year-old travelling to Paris ready to complete a deal, but PSG were informed on Wednesday that the Ligue de Football Professionnel was not notified in time for the transfer to be completed.
