Chelsea hero Nevin: Hopefully this will relaunch Ziyech career; Ounahi a class act for Morocco

Chelsea hero Pat Nevin hopes Hakim Ziyech can win the World Cup with Morocco.

The Blues midfielder is preparing for Wednesday's semifinal against France.

Nevin told chelseafc.com: "Hakim Ziyech has been incredible in his work rate too. I just hope he is fit for the France game and this tournament lift helps his Chelsea career take off again.

"It is hard to call, which if any of the Chelsea players is now going to come back to the Bridge with that precious World Cup winner's medal, ready to show it off to everyone else."

Nevin also said: "Their midfielder Azzedine Ounahi has been among the most elegant players in the competition in terms of beating top-quality players with consummate ease using a plethora of flicks, tricks, dummies and sways with the balance of a cat. Even if Sofyan Amrabat has caught the eye for most and understandable so, this guy Ounahi is a class act. With the greatest of respect, why does he play for Angers and not PSG!"
